Chapter 22: The Talent of the Champions

Just now, the officer shouted: "The old mountain camp of Baomaguan is surrounded by the enemy in Lingqiu, there is no way to escape, from the main general Zhu Hong down to the full battalion of soldiers are all killed, how can you a small soldier escape from the ascension, unless you are a deserter!" ”

Lu Rong was most jealous of others saying that he was a deserter, and Fan Jiang almost blew up when he tried Lu Rong before, let alone at this time. instantly became angry, and shouted with a red face: "Fart! Lao Tzu is not a deserter! ”

Before he finished speaking, Fan Jiang beside him frowned, stepped on his foot on the spot, shook a small stone to his waist, and then swept away with his sleeves, and the stone was as fast as a crossbow arrow, heading straight for the officer.

The officer was not an ordinary person, and hurriedly crossed his sword to block it, only to hear a crisp sound, and the jeweled sword in his hand was unexpectedly sharp and a huge gap was cracked by the stone. The officer couldn't hold it anymore, and he took three steps back and fell to the groundβ€”the sword in his hand was still clutched.

This time it was extremely fast, Yao Ke was far away from the officer, and he was not in a hurry, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

Fan Jiang snorted: "I can't speak." ”

Seeing this, the surrounding soldiers took two steps forward, and the fight was about to break out.

Yao Keqi frowned and said in a deep voice: "All retreat, don't say much." The officer struggled to get up, and was about to step forward in a rage, when he heard the words, he stood still with red eyes, and saw blood faintly flowing from the tiger's mouth.

Yao Ke expected to see that the situation had stabilized temporarily, nodded at Fan Jiang, and said, "This girl, please calm down, she will be able to distinguish herself." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to the left and right and said, "Go quickly, bring me the paperwork on the case." ”

He turned his head and looked Fan Jiang up and down, and said, "Who is the girl?" ”

Lu was angry and continued: "General Hui, she is my life-saver, and she wanted to travel to Youzhou, so she walked with me." ”

Yao Keqi nodded slightly, put the knife in his hand into the sheath, and said in a condensed voice: "Your name is Lu Rong?" Do you know Wang Xuance? ”

When Lu Rong heard this, it was a little strange, Wang Xuance? I only knew one person surnamed Wang, who was my husband, but I didn't know the name of the gentleman, so I replied, "I don't know." ”

Fan Jiang saw that Yao Ke expected to put away the sword, so he also put the sword into the sheath. Hearing Yao Keqi talk about Wang Xuance, he actually said: "Hanshi Wang Xuance, Ningwu 17 years of Jinshi and first, was evaluated by the emperor Zhang Zuogong as the top talent. Later, he was the chief of staff of King Yan and the person who held chess behind Lu Yuan. ”

Yao Ke was surprised and asked, "How did the girl know?" ”

Fan Jiang smiled and didn't speak, and the hostility between the two sides gradually subsided.

Lu Rong was even more puzzled in his heart, listening to what Fan Jiang said, this Wang Xuance seems to have a great background, how can he know him?

After thinking about it, is it really Mr. Wang? How is this possible. I can't help but think of the down-and-out scholar with a withered face, and a dignified teacher and earnest teachings.

Yao Ke expected to see that Fan Jiang didn't answer, but he also paid attention to her in his heart, and continued to ask: "Where does your family live, when did you join the army, and who is the commander in the army?" ”

Lu Rong put away the doubts in his heart, hugged his fists and replied: "Back to Dashuai, my family lives in Muzi Lane, Anxin County, Baoding Prefecture, recruited into the army this autumn, and served in the Laoshan Camp of Baomaguan...... Lao Huang. ”

Lu Rongfang thought that he didn't even know Lao Huang's full name, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

After saying the words, he suddenly remembered something, his mood was even heavier, he reached into his arms, took out the military flag of the old mountain camp, held the corner and stretched it hard, and then held it with both hands, walked to Yao Keqi's side, knelt down on one knee, and raised it above his head. The voice choked slightly: "This is the military flag of the old mountain battalion, which was picked up on the battlefield." ”

Yao Keqi raised his hand to stop the soldiers around him from stepping forward to stop him, but he stepped forward, straightened his cuffs slightly, his face was solemn, and he slowly took the military flag.

The military flag was stained with blood, and it was still well preserved, and the original dark flag was a little white, and it was a lot of suffering at first glance.

Yao Keqi stared for a long time, slowly folded the flag, handed it to the soldiers behind him, and saw that Lu Rong was still kneeling on the ground and bowing his head and choking, stepped forward and slapped Lu Rong on the shoulder, with a strong hand, lifted Lu Rong up, and slapped Lu Rong's chest twice, and said in a deep voice: "With you and this flag, the old mountain camp is still there!" ”

Lu Rong's tears couldn't be held back all of a sudden, and he flew straight down, gritting his teeth and holding back.

Behind him, Fan Jiang also smiled.

At this time, the soldier who went to pick up the documents just now trotted back and handed it to Yao Keqi, Yao Keqi took it and looked at it, his heart was settled, but his eyes were a little complicated, and he waved his hand to disperse before saying to Lu Rong: "You come with me." ”

Lu Rongfan Jiang followed Yao Ke into the main account, and although the soldiers behind him were still full of vigilance, they were also a few steps away from the two of them. Seeing that Fan Jiang was holding his sword into the account again, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, Yao Keqi said, "It's okay." ”

Several of the soldiers did not speak, but stood on both sides.

Yao Keqi sat in the main seat and motioned for Lu Rong and Fan Jiang to sit down, then Lu Rong was a little hesitant, Fan Jiang was also happy, and sat down directly, Lu Rong had to sit next to Fan Jiang.

Yao Keqi picked up the document just now, read it carefully, and then carefully looked at Lu Rong, who was restless, and gradually frowned, and said slowly: "You really don't know Wang Xuance?" ”

Lu Rong was also full of doubts, shook his head blankly, looked back at Fan Jiang, and saw that Fan Jiang had no expression, and began to look at the decoration in the main tent again.

Yao Keqi frowned and thought for a long time, but he didn't come up with any clue, and when he saw Lu Rong staring at him, he was also puzzled. So he said: "What this girl said just now is good, Wang Xuance is the chief adviser next to the general, and I have the grace of knowing it. A few days ago, the trustee sent me a letter, but it was not a military order from the Metropolitan Protectorate. Tell me to be careful of a young man named Lu Rong, and if he comes here, he will be sent to Mr. Lushan Wang. ”

Yao Keqi paused and said: "Who knows that you don't know Mr. Wang, but the household registration and military family are all wrong, think about it again, do you really not know Wang Xuance?" ”

Lu Rong replied: "I do know a scholar surnamed Wang, but I don't know if it's Wang Xuance." ”

Yao Keqi pondered for a while and said, "That's it, since this is the case, it must be right, you rest here for a day, and I will arrange for someone to send you over tomorrow, how about it?" ”

Lu Rong is actually like an arrow now, and he can't wait to return to his home in Anxin County in one step, but he is also curious whether what Yao Keqi said about Wang Xuance is Mr. Wang, who taught him.

Moreover, Mr. Wang has been living at home for a month since last winter, and he has not seen Mr. Wang, and the book list he left has already been read, Lu Rong has been taught by Mr. since he was a child, no matter how tireless he is in the cold and summer, and his feelings for Mr. are very deep, and he has not seen him for a year, and he misses him very much, so he nodded and said, "Let the commander command." ”

Yao Keqi nodded, ordered his subordinates to help the two clean up the guest camp, and said: "Lu Rong, the old mountain camp fought to the death in Lingqiu, and did not retreat. General Zhu Hong died in a foreign land, and the whole army was killed in battle. Duhufu originally thought that the number of the Laoshan camp would be lost from now on, who knew that you could bring back the military flag from Datong, I admire you for being a man, I will report your matter to the general, you can rest assured, the Yan army will live up to the battlefield warriors. ”

Lu Rong felt bitter in his heart, and when he heard Yao Keqi say that all the battalions had died in battle, the little hope hidden in his heart was also shattered, and he muttered, "Are they all killed in battle?" None alive? ”

Seeing this, Yao Ke didn't answer, and sighed secretly.

Fan Jiang beside him gently put the sword on the case in front of him, and looked at Lu Rong with a pair of eyes, without saying a word.

Lu Rong was sad in his heart, lowered his head, and held his forehead with his hand.

There was silence in the main account for a while, and the sound of sergeants outside could be faintly heard, and after three kills, they returned to the camp after the afternoon exercise.

It's getting dark.
