Chapter III: Disputes
In the middle of the night, a petite figure rode a red horse on a mountain path, surrounded by lush trees, and her direction was towards a deserted place. If Jiuhuang was here at this time, he would definitely recognize it at a glance, and the person in front of him who was riding a horse and wearing men's clothes was a plain girl.
After Su Nu learned that Jiuhuang was in the Yuzhou military camp and got her own contract of sale, she did not immediately go in the direction of Yuzhou, but in the opposite direction of Yuzhou, and wanted to go north all the way.
After about half an hour, a thatched courtyard house suddenly appeared in front of her, and there was a faint light in the house. Seeing this, Su Nu felt a little excited in her heart, whipped the horse under her, and walked towards the house at a faster speed.
When she was about to reach the courtyard house, the plain girl dismounted and rode to lead the horse to the house.
Suddenly, the courtyard house that was still shining with light just now disappeared in such an instant, if it weren't for believing that she wouldn't be mistaken, Su Nu almost thought that the bright light in the courtyard she saw just now was just an illusion.
Standing in front of the fence of the thatched courtyard house, Su Nu stabilized her mind, looked into the courtyard for a while, there was no trace of breath in the quiet, and looked at the courtyard house, the clean and tidy appearance showed that there were often people living here, or often living, otherwise the courtyard house would not be so clean and tidy. Su Nu stretched out her free left hand, and was about to push open the courtyard door when she suddenly felt a dangerous aura coming towards her.
The reacting Su Nu sensitively turned her body to the side, dodging the deadly attack, and then clearly saw a bright knife light passing in front of her. Seeing this, Su Nu immediately took out her own knife from behind her to resist it.
"Dare to ask Your Excellency, but is it General Nanming?" It seems that the knife technique she has seen in her memory makes the plain girl ask eagerly
After hearing Su Nu's words, the other party was obviously stunned, and then said in a rough and cold voice, "You recognized the wrong person." And the moves in his hand are also attacking Su Nu more and more fiercely.
It was a familiar voice when she was a child, and the tip of the plain girl's nose couldn't help but be sour, she knew that she was not looking for the wrong person, and what she was looking for was the person in front of her, she immediately said loudly, "Uncle Nan, I am a plain girl." ”
Nan Ming stopped his movements because of Su Nu's words, and the dark night made it impossible to see the expression on Nan Ming's face at the moment. It's just that from his choked words, you can still hear the excitement and shock in his mood at this time, and I only heard him ask, "Su girl?" ”
Su Nu nodded hard and said, "Yes, I'm Su Nu, Su Jing is only a girl, don't you remember, Uncle Nan?" ”
Nan Ming, Hou Jingyu's most powerful lieutenant in Prospect Prefecture, was also the only general who survived the Great War ten years ago.
Ten years ago, when Batu's army suddenly attacked Jingzhou, in the face of Batu's hundreds of thousands of troops, Jingzhou's garrison was only about 100,000, without the support of reinforcements, and there was no time to borrow army support from the garrison near the border.
Back then, as the deputy general of Jing Yu, he was intercepted by many people on his way to send Jiu Sunu to Beijing, escaped several times, and finally came to Beijing.
But on the bustling Emperor Street in Shangjing, he lost the plain girl. He quickly sent Jiuhuang to Xu's mansion, and searched for many days in Shangjing but did not find a vegetarian girl. In his heart, because he was sorry for his friend who lost her daughter, and because he was sorry for Jingzhou Hou's entrustment to him, he hurried all the way to Jingzhou, wanting to ask the two of them for their guilt.
But he didn't expect that after he arrived, Jingzhou had been captured by Batu, and all the soldiers under his command were killed in battle, and he was disheartened and lived in seclusion in this barren mountain wilderness with a debt to his dead friend.
Every time he thinks of this time, Nan Ming's body always carries a strong sense of remorse, he looks at the plain girl in front of him, and says, "Are you really a plain girl?" ”
Seeing Nan Ming asking so repeatedly, Su Nu probably guessed in her heart that Nan Ming must have been obsessed with the matter of losing herself back then, in fact, if she wasn't ignorant and greedy for fun, how could she let Nan Ming get to such a point.
"Uncle Nan, Su Nu has always remembered all the hardships that Uncle Nan suffered for Bao Su Nu and the county lord, for so many years, I have been inquiring about Uncle Nan's whereabouts with the county lord, and finally the emperor lived up to his heart and learned that Uncle Nan lived in seclusion here."
Nan Ming listened to Su Nu being able to say those things back then, and he had already affirmed Su Nu's words in his heart, and he also knew that the county lord in her mouth must be the Jiuhuang county lord who was sent to Xuyang Mansion by him and was personally crowned by the Queen Mother. Subsequently, Nan Ming introduced the plain girl into the house.
After entering the house, the plain girl looked at the place where Nanming lived! Inside, a bed, a table, a stool, such a simple furnishing, she couldn't believe that Nanming had actually lived in this place for so many years.
I was very sad in my heart, and said, "Uncle Nan, have you lived like this for so long?" ”
When Nan Ming heard the words of the plain girl, his heart was bitter, and he lowered his head silently.
The life he has now is what the general and all the soldiers have exchanged for their lives. If he could, he would have thought that he could be on the battlefield with the general, instead of living here alone as he is now.
For a person who is a general, he spends his whole life on the battlefield, this is life, and he is really not worthy of being a general if he survives here like this.
Nan Ming sighed, looked at the plain girl, and said, "I haven't seen you for many years, and the plain girl has grown into a slim woman." ”
When Su Nu heard Nan Ming's words, she knew that he was deliberately changing the topic, but now she was very worried about Jiuhuang in her heart.
From the news I heard along the way, Jiuhuang is now highly poisonous, and I don't know what happened.
Su Nu chuckled, as if she was coquettish to her elders, "Uncle Nan." ”
Looking at the shy appearance of the plain girl, Nan Ming showed the only smile for the first time in so many years.
"Say, what is the matter with coming to Uncle Nan this time?"
Nan Ming's directness made Su Nu couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "How did Uncle Nan know that Su Nu must have come to visit?" ”
Hearing Su Nu's question, Nan Ming looked at Su Nu and said, "Your thoughts are written on your face, can Uncle Nan not see it?" ”
Su Nu touched her face embarrassedly, and when she saw Nan Ming say this, Su Nu didn't beat around the bush, and said, "Su Nu came here, she really has something to find Uncle Nan." ”
"Come to think of it, Uncle Nan should know about the Celestial Empire's army to recover Jingzhou."
Nan Ming nodded, although he was in this barren mountain and wild village, he still kept an eye on all the news in Jingzhou, and when he heard that the Celestial Empire was going to send a large army to recover Jingzhou, Nan Ming's heart was more excited than anyone else.
Seeing Nan Ming nodding, Su Nu continued, "The county lord is now in the army, and I got the news that in the previous battle with Batu, the county lord was poisoned by arrows and is still unconscious. ”
Nan Ming was taken aback when he heard this, stood up excitedly, and said, "How could the county lord enter the barracks, women are not allowed to enter the army." ”
In this regard, Su Nu also didn't know the reason, she wanted to know how Jiuhuang went to the barracks, she thought, maybe only when she arrived at the Yuzhou barracks and asked in person, maybe she would know the answer.
"At this time, I don't know, the county lord went to the army, and I only learned about it later, and now Su Nu is here, just to want Uncle Qing Nan to follow Su Nu to Yuzhou, the county lord is now injured unknown, and Hou Ye and his father can't die in vain."
When Nan Ming heard Su Nu's words, he couldn't help but look at her and said, "You also entered the military camp like the county lord?" ”
Su Nu didn't speak, but her firm eyes told Nan Ming that she wanted to enter the barracks.
Nan Ming was furious in his heart, and said to the plain girl, "Nonsense, there can't be women in the army, how can you and the county lord be so nonsense." ”
Su Nu disagreed with Nan Ming's words, and said, "The enmity of the family and the country cannot be avenged, and the crime suffered by the county lord cannot be avenged." Uncle Nan, Su Nu implored Uncle Nan to accompany him to Yuzhou to help the army of the Celestial Empire, with Uncle Nan's understanding of Jingzhou, we have a greater certainty of recovering Jingzhou. ”
Looking at the stubborn Su girl, as well as the nine phoenixes in the army who didn't know how injured they were, Nan Ming sighed and said, "That's it." ”
Listening to Nan Ming's tone, Su Nu knew that he agreed.
Here Su Nu is persuading Nan Ming to go to Yuzhou together, and Yuzhou is in the military camp.
Mu Kun sat on the main seat, looked at the generals below, and said, "Batu's reinforcements have arrived, they have fought against us again, but our reinforcements have not arrived for a long time, what do you think?" ”
There was silence all around, and all the generals knew in their hearts that Batu now had more than 400,000 troops, and they were only less than 100,000 troops, and this battle doomed them to defeat, Yuzhou could no longer be saved, and everyone couldn't help but feel depressed.
Mu Kun looked at the generals below, knowing what they were thinking, and then said, "Since you don't have any opinions, then, do as I say." ”
"No matter what, we will never be deserters, we will never become prisoners of war in Batu, even if we die, we must die on the battlefield."
After stopping Mu Kun's words, the lieutenant general said, "Never be a deserter, never be a prisoner of war." ”
Mu Kun looked at everyone with satisfaction, and then said, "Now that the county lord is seriously injured, Yumu, you send 10,000 soldiers to send the county lord and Lord Xu to Fuzhou." ”
It's just that before Yumu could answer, a voice came to mind at the door of the camp, "If you want me to go to Fuzhou, unless you carry my corpse, I will never leave the barracks for half a step." ”
