Chapter 42: Here He Comes!

"General Ling, my father cleaned up the house a few days ago and packed up an object, and specially asked me to hand it over to you." Shao Xuan took out a delicate box from his arms, for fear of breaking the person. "My father said that although he was reluctant to give up, the things of the deceased should be returned to General Ling."

"General Ling, do you know this jade pendant?"

"I don't know."

"This jade pendant is a relic of Marshal Ling, General Ling, please see, what is engraved here is the name of the marshal." Indeed, on the back of the jade pendant, the small seal is engraved with the word "Yunsi".

Ruoxi vaguely recognized this jade pendant, the only portrait left by his mother, he wore this jade pendant, and it looked like his mother liked it very much. It's just that I don't know if it's lost or why, Ruoxi has never seen this jade pendant. Why is it here?

Ruoxi's heart turned a thousand times, and his face never showed any difference. This made Shao Xuan unable to figure out what Ling Ruoxi was thinking for a while, and he didn't dare to act rashly, so he asked tentatively, "General?" ”

"Well, I remember, on my mother's portrait, this jade pendant did appear."

Shaoxuan waited for Ruoxi to ask where this jade pendant came from, but Ruoxi didn't answer his words at all. Shao Xuan could only say by himself, "I heard my father say that this jade pendant is the love of Marshal Ling and Uncle Dongfang, but I didn't expect it." Shao Xuan made a sigh, "Creation makes people, and it is difficult for a lover to become a family." ”

"However, to be honest, Marshal Ling's mind and measurements, Shao Xuan admires from the bottom of his heart." "After all, in the face of the revenge of killing her husband, Marshal Ling can still proceed from the righteousness of the country, this kind of bearing is the blessing of my country."

Ruoxi kept drinking with her head bored, and Shaoxuan didn't know if she listened to it, so she was afraid that she would be too late, so she changed the topic with haha, "Come on, come on, I respect General Ling for a drink, it's my honor to get acquainted with you." ”

"Father, Ling Ruoxi didn't react after hearing it, and the child couldn't see what he thought."

"Rest assured, the seed of doubt is planted, and I am not afraid that it will not germinate."

King Cheng is right, Ruoxi is just good at disguising himself. He looked calm on his face, but his heart was already turbulent. Ruoxi almost didn't grow up next to Ling Yunsi, either in the dark group or in the army. The only contact between the mother and daughter may only be to teach martial arts and the art of war. So Ruoxi knew very little about these past events, and Yun Si didn't want to tell her. For more than 20 years, Ruoxi had no way of knowing who his biological father was, let alone the love-hate entanglement between Ling Yunsi, Nangong Chen and Dongfang Sacrifice back then. Nangong Shaoxuan's words today seem to be deliberately revealing something? What is a token of love, what is the revenge of killing a husband? Could it be that his biological father was an Oriental priest and died at the hands of the saints? What the hell is going on? Ruoxi had a headache and couldn't help but rub his temples. King Cheng's father and son are definitely not so kind, and they came to tell themselves about their life experience, and there must be a conspiracy in this. Ruoxi is sensible and not fooled at all, but Ruoxi listened to these words in his heart, and for the first time he wanted to know so strongly who his father was.

On a quiet day, Ruoxi was instructing the soldiers to train in the camp, and he heard the goalkeeper hurriedly report that it was the emperor's urgent edict.

When I arrived at the conference hall, as soon as I entered the door, I felt that the atmosphere was not normal, and all the ministers, even His Royal Highness the Prince, looked solemn Nangong Chen was looking at the map on the table, which was the map of the southwestern border of Liguo. Southwest, is it Nancang......

Sure enough, I heard Nangong Chen's voice, "It's rude." Nancang suddenly Chen soldiers on the southwest border of China, have already broken through the Wanshan Pass, and Yangcheng is now in danger. What do you think? ”

"Your Majesty, the lord of the battle."

"Your Majesty, the ministers are also the main battle." The ministers seconded the motion.

"Shui Hua, what do you think?" Nangong Chen thought for a while and asked.

"Fight." Nangong Shuihua pointed to the map and said, "Uncle Huang, please see, Wanshan Pass is a natural danger, the first barrier in Liguo, and the barrier in Yangcheng; And Yangcheng, relying on natural hazards, easy to defend and difficult to attack, is the throat of the southwest region of Liguo. If Nancang is allowed to seize Yangcheng, then the southwest lands will lose their gates, and they will enter the interior as if they were in a no-man's land. ”

"yes, yes." All the ministers said yes, and Nangong Chen couldn't help but nod his head in praise.

"And who can lead the troops?" There were many generals present, but none of them dared to stand up. Although Yangguan occupies the advantage of geographical location, it must retreat from the enemy and cannot be trapped in the city. And the Southern Cangguo has strong troops and strong strength, and the person who led the troops this time is even more mysterious. However, he was able to break through Wanshan Pass in just two days, which shows his strength. In the face of such a strong and unintelligible opponent, they instinctively retreated.

Ruoxi was thinking in his heart, looked at the emperor and the prince again, and finally stood up, "Your Majesty, please fight." ”

I could clearly feel that the generals behind him were all breathing a sigh of relief.

Nangong Chen's face is not good-looking, there is a huge country of Li, except for Ling Ruoxi, no one can lead the troops to fight? The imperial cup was pushed to the ground by Nangong Chen with anger, and it smashed into a piece and shattered to the ground. The emperor was angry, and these ministers didn't dare to stand anymore, so they knelt on the ground. Be careful, tremble, and keep your head down so as not to be seen by the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the overall situation is important." Ruoxi's words temporarily solved their predicament. Nangong Shuihua was also beside him to consol.

"Ruoxi, if you have any request, just mention it! I will be satisfied. ”

"Don't dare, the Red Flame Army can set off at any time."

"Good!" There are ministers like this, why worry about the country of Liguo. "Intended purpose,"

"Your Majesty!" Nangong Chen was just about to draft a decree, but was interrupted by an old voice. "Your Majesty, the ministers are also willing to do their last bit for the country. The old minister asked for his life and went to Yangcheng with General Ling to protect my country and protect my people. "It's Situ Ao. Since Situ Shaoyun died, Situ Ao has shown his old age, and Nangong Chen has taken pity on his subordinates and ordered him to rest at home and not have to participate in the early dynasty. Today is an emergency, so I got people here.

"Right Minister, you...."Nangong Chen just wanted to refuse, but was interrupted by Situ Ao, "Your Majesty, this old bone, I don't know how much more I can do for Liguo, you will fulfill me." ”

"Okay." Nangong Chen can't screw the old minister after all.

In this battle, Ling Ruoxi served as the commander, Changfeng served as the deputy commander, Situ Ao supervised the army, and the army set off tomorrow and went to Yangcheng.

Yangcheng is located in a hot and humid area, surrounded by large and small miasma forests. Seeing that this Yang City was close at hand, it was stopped by a miasma forest. "Marshal, how is this good?" The long wind was driving the horses in full force, and the horses were reluctant to take half a step forward, and frequently retreated.

Ruoxi observed his surroundings. This miasma forest was much deeper than anything they had encountered before, and the concentration of miasma was much higher. As before, it is obviously not possible to cover your mouth and nose and rush through the march. I'm afraid that before they get out of the miasma forest, they have already been poisoned and died inside.

"Set up camp on the spot and cross the woods tomorrow morning." The situation in Yangcheng is dangerous, and there is no time for them to change their path, even if there is a sea of swords and fires in front of them, they have to break through.

The next day, according to Ruoxi's instructions, the Huotou Army got up early in the morning and boiled barley porridge for everyone, and brought them all the way and retreated several carts of realgar, and piled them all up at the entrance of the forest and lit them. Soon after, a fire broke out. Barley and realgar are both good ways to remove miasma and relieve miasma. It is also a shame that Ruoxi consulted a large number of ancient books and materials, and made preparations in advance, otherwise, they would have lost most of the people first without going to Yangcheng.

The Red Flame Army opened the way with male yellow, covered his face, blocked his mouth and nose, and soon became more and more obstacles.

The Yangcheng guard looked at the heavenly soldiers who seemed to fall from the sky in front of him, and his jaw was about to hit the ground, "According to the distance, there should be two more days, why did you arrive so quickly?" "And, they, how did they get over the miasma forest?

"General Li, what is the situation in Yangcheng now?"

If Xi Gu doesn't answer his doubts, he cares about the situation in Yangcheng first.

"General Qiyu, Nan Cangguo has been scolding outside for three days. The lowly officials have always hung up the exemption card and do not confront them head-on, but they have not been able to fight, and the morale in the city is very low. ”

"Do you know who the other party's coach is?" I don't know why, the closer she got to Yangcheng, the more Ruoxi felt that there was a very strange but indescribable feeling in her heart. It seemed to hint at what would happen to her in Yangcheng.

Li Wuxu shook his head, "I don't know, I haven't seen their boss yet." ”

What exactly is the identity? It was so carefully hidden.

"Let's have a good rest tonight, and go out of the city tomorrow to fight!" No matter what the identity of the other party is, it will naturally be clear as soon as they fight.

Unexpectedly, before Ruoxi could go out of the city to fight, the enemy's war letter was delivered. The soldiers patrolling the city tower saw the arrows planted in the city wall, and hurriedly ran over to give them to Ruoxi.

There was also a note pinned to the arrow, the content of which was nothing more than that Marshal Ling had long heard that Marshal Ling was famous and had outstanding martial arts, and no one could beat it. Now that the two countries are vying for hegemony, if they rush to each other, they will inevitably hurt innocent people. Therefore, it may as well be that the two managers have a duel, and the losing side withdraws unconditionally.

The handwriting in front of me felt familiar and unfamiliar. Familiarly, this handwriting is very similar to Haochu's handwriting; What is strange is that unlike the gentle and elegant handwriting of Haochu, this word is full of ruthlessness.

"Ben Shuai should go."

The venue of the duel was about outside Yangcheng. The fighters of the two armies, sorted on both sides, cheered for their respective commanders. The mysterious coach is finally about to show up.

"Your Excellency, the confrontation between the two armies is a dignified and upright thing, so why wear a mask? Take it off and let us have a look. Changfeng shouted. didn't notice at all, Ruoxi's hand began to tremble uncontrollably when he saw that figure. Is that him? Could it be him?

Ruoxi is really grateful for Changfeng's words. She wanted to see it, but she didn't dare to see it. I am afraid that if the hope is too great, the greater the disappointment.

Ruoxi stared at his movements almost motionlessly. The slender fingers reached behind his head, slowly untying the bound rope, and the silver mask detached little by little, revealing its original face.

It's him!

It's really him!

Why? Why is he still alive? And why did he become the coach of Nancang.

Thousands of questions exploded in my head, completely oblivious to the situation in front of me.
