Chapter 51: Attrition

On the official road, two fast horses galloped away, bringing up a cloud of smoke and dust.

Huang Minlong rode on a horse, followed by a mysterious man wearing a black cloak and covering his face with a huge hood. The horses were so fast that he didn't let the hood fall off.

After two days of non-stop travel, the two finally came to the border pass.

Looking at the banner of the dynasty on the city wall from afar, Huang Minlong's heart also became cheerful.

"We'll be at camp soon, and when the time comes, you can rest too." Huang Minlong turned his head and said to the mysterious man beside him.

When the man heard this, he just nodded and didn't say much. The two of them galloped again, and soon reached the bottom of the city.

The border guards of the Vain Dynasty were all trained by Huang Minlong, and their combat ability was extremely strong, even if they were ordinary soldiers, they could be ten with one. Therefore, the surrounding barbarian countries were extremely jealous of it, and called the defenders "Huang Jiajun".

The soldiers on the city wall saw Huang Minlong coming back from afar, and passed the word early, and before he could say it, they opened the city gate. Huang Minlong and the others galloped away all the way without stopping for a moment.

When they arrived in front of the main camp tent, the two dismounted and dodged in, where a group of generals and generals were studying the military sand table and preparing to do a simple military exercise.

Seeing Huang Minlong coming back, Qi Qi stood up, hugged his fists and said, "General!" ”

Huang Minlong nodded at them and walked in with the man, and several people looked at the mysterious man and remained silent.

"Preparing for a drill?" Huang Minlong asked while taking off his clothes and handing them to the soldiers who were accompanying him.

"Yes, General." One of the generals replied, "According to your instructions for the '10-day exercise,' we will conduct a drill in two days." ”

General Huang nodded when he heard this, took two steps forward, and the mysterious man followed behind him, also looking at the sand table together.

The two armies faced each other, and the original defenses had been set up in the mountains, marked with red and blue flags, and the surrounding residents were also dispersed, one side attacked, one side defended, and the day was limited to see who could win the final victory.

"Okay, let's lay it out like this, and in two days, see the results." Huang Minlong said lightly.

"General, the Su strategists are waiting outside the tent." A small soldier ran in to report.

"Ask him to come in." Huang Minlong waved his hand and went straight to the tent to sit down, the rest of the generals lined up on both sides, but the mysterious man stood next to him.

The tent door was lifted, and a gray-robed Confucian walked in quickly, clasped his fists in front of Huang Minlong and said, "Su Mingqian has seen the general. ”

Huang Minlong nodded and asked lightly: "Su Moushi, you are in such a hurry to see General Ben, but you have something important?" ”

Su Mingqian nodded and said, "Yes, general, I heard that the general is going to conduct a military exercise in the near future, so I came here to admonish." ”

Huang Minlong raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Oh, what does Mr. want to say?" ”

Su Mingqian said: "General, now the world is unified, all of which are the boundaries of my vain dynasty, and the emperor also wants the general to guard the border passes, to prevent those foolish people who are often harassed but vulnerable, can the general know His Majesty's intentions?" ”

Huang Minlong's eyes flashed slightly, pretending not to know: "Although the world is the world of the dynasty in vain, it is really irritating that the foolish people have repeatedly harassed my border." Mr. said this, Min Long didn't quite understand. ”

Su Mingqian smiled faintly and said, "The general actually understood it a long time ago, but the general pretended not to know." ”

Huang Minlong looked around, the corners of his lips twitched, and said with a smile: "Mr. is Huang's confidant, everyone here is Huang's brother, Mr. has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Su Mingqian said: "General, since ancient times, those generals who have achieved high merit have been the objects of the emperor's jealousy. I believe the general has heard of the fact that the guards at our border pass are even secretly called 'Huang Jiajun'. In the next time, I am advising the general to retreat bravely and preserve his strength in time! ”

His words made Huang Minlong's eyes flash, how could he not know the truth that this rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked, and the bird is hidden by the bow? It's just that if he hadn't been sitting on these hundreds of thousands of troops at the border pass, he would have found a way to deal with him a long time ago, right?

"Mr. Su, what do you mean......" Huang Minlong looked at him, Su Mingqian has always been his confidant, he has cooperated for many years before, he has given him advice and won many battles, and now he wants him to retreat bravely......

"General, since ancient times, if the generals of the frontier are either close associates of the emperor, they are a thorn in the emperor's side. After Su Mingqian finished speaking, he closed his mouth and just looked at him.

When Huang Minlong heard this, he was also silent, and after a while, he got up and waved his hand, and sent everyone in the account out, leaving only the mysterious man inside.

"Say, what should I do?" Huang Minlong came to the sand table and asked while fiddling with the small flag.

The mysterious man followed him, gently making a few changes on the sand table, making the defending side instantly weaker.

"Sometimes, you don't have to go all out to attack, you just need to find the opponent's weakness and annihilate it with the power of the elite. Isn't this what you handed over to me, General? The mysterious man looked at him.

Huang Minlong looked at his layout, and then at his own, the defender's defeat had appeared, and nodded helplessly and gratifyingly.

"After this military exercise, the general can give an order to reduce military spending on the pretext of reducing military expenditures, so that those elites will return to their hometowns and be reduced to zero; When needed, gather them together and break them into pieces. The mysterious man suggested with amusement.

"Hahahaha...... Wonderful! Wonderful! Hearing this, Huang Minlong nodded and smiled, "It's just that if Your Majesty takes this opportunity to attack me......

The mysterious man smiled faintly: "Besides the God of War of the Jialan Kingdom, who else can he invite?" ”

As he finished, the two of them burst out laughing.

At night, outside the military tent, a mysterious man stood outside, looking up at the sky.

"Goo-goo." After a while, a carrier pigeon barked, fluttered down, and landed right on the arm of the mysterious man.

He gently untied the pigeon's leg and let it go as it pleased.

It was a note written in small letters, and when he saw it, he pulled the corners of his mouth and went to the fire in the camp, where he burned it.

It seems that he wants to rush back to the capital as soon as possible, and some good shows are about to be staged.

In Langqing Garden, Lan Qingqian was fiddling with the corners of her skirt boringly.

Since she was favored, she asked Yu Chi Jincheng for a lot of good things. What jewelry, ornaments, cloths, spices...... has everything, and plays a vulgar little woman who worships money perfectly, but the blue dress on her body refuses to change it at all.

"Oh, my young lady, this dress is going to be ruined by you." Feng Youyang took a spice in, gently dialed it into the incense burner, and pressed it with an incense seal.

"If it's broken, I'll change it to a blue one, and I've done a lot anyway." Lan Qing pouted.

Feng Youyang lit the incense burner, leaned over and said, "Miss, Youyang thinks that you still don't have any more illusions about the Fourteenth Master." ”

When Lan Qingqian heard this, he glared at her angrily and said, "Why? I've done so much for him, you can't ignore me just because he's thinking about his big things, right? ”

Feng Youyang pursed his mouth when he heard this: "Miss, Youyang always feels that the fourteenth master is a little ...... to the hall master."

"Shut up!" Lan Qingqian stepped forward and poked her forehead and said, "My brother doesn't have a dragon yang fetish!" ”

"But the fourteenth master has it,......," Feng Youyang muttered in a low voice.

"What do you say?" Lan Qing glared at her lightly.

Seeing this, Feng Youyang shrugged his shoulders: "Originally...... How to fall in love with different genders? ”

"Youyang!" Lan Qingqian casually grabbed the cushion behind him and smashed it at her, "If you talk nonsense again, see if I don't hit you!" ”

"Well, okay, okay, I'll just say that." Feng Youyang stuck out his tongue and leaned in front of her and said, "But Miss, he heard that the Seventeenth Prince's Captain Chi Jincheng's martial arts are world-famous, will he find out that Miss only used drugs on him that night, but she didn't actually ...... with him?"

Lan Qingqian tilted his head and thought for a while, "Won't it?" I even got the red one, and when he saw that, he shouldn't deny it......"

Feng Youyang rolled his eyes and said, "However, I always feel that this prince is a little too sudden to treat you." ”

When Lan Qingqian heard this, her heart moved, and the words of the wind reminded her. On weekdays, I heard that the prince has never really been emotionally attached to any woman in the mansion, that is, Concubine Lin and Concubine Wen, and they only go to them often to talk.

Recently, I heard that the concubine was being favored, and the prince even took the initiative to hug her and kiss her, but I didn't hear that she was half pampered, she just used a little flattery-medicine, and the prince spoiled her so much, it seemed a little unreasonable.

"Youyang, do you mean to say that the seventeenth prince is ...... Kidding me? Lan Qingqian heard the words and asked in a low voice.

Feng Youyang shook his head and said uncertainly, "I don't know either. Maybe it's to make sure that the young lady is the same as she appears, so she likes those things outside the body, right? ”

Hearing this, Lan Qingqian reluctantly looked at his skirt and pouted, "In that case, Ming'er will bring me a new skirt." ”

Feng Youyang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Miss, what color?" ”

"It's still blue!" Lan Qing gave a faint order, twisted his waist, and entered the room.

Wen Di sat cross-legged on the bed in the room alone. Baoyue was sent out by her, and Xiao Qi was arranged to guard in the courtyard.

Since she received Ji Ruoshui's internal strength, Wen Di has discovered more use of Qiankun magic techniques, and she is now able to mobilize more internal force, run in various acupuncture points around her body, and make her body gradually stronger.

Although she didn't know how this internal force entered her body, she cherished this surprise from the sky, at least she had another means to save her life.

Li Er told her on the side that he not only knew the secret of Wendi's body, but also wanted her to keep her virgin body, could it be that there was a connection between the two?

It's better to ask in front of him!

Thinking of this, Wen Di deliberately cleared his throat and called loudly: "Li Er, Li Er." ”

Wen Di waited for a long time and no one responded, and when he was about to give up, he heard a voice with a grudge and ridicule: "Di'er, if you call another man's name in the room at night, aren't you afraid that this king will be jealous?" ”
