Chapter 13 Waiting for good news
Guan Yu stood up in surprise and hurriedly asked, "Rushuang, haven't you been staying in Pingzhou City?" How did you get here? Why not let us know in advance? ”。
Ma Rushuang ignored his series of questions.
She just closed her lips tightly, blinking her black grape-like eyes and sweeping them over Ni Feiyan and Guan Yu's faces.
Guan Yu was still calm, and it was estimated that even if a sudden thunderbolt struck his head at this moment, he would not be surprised. Miss Feiyan's face was a little unbearable, her lips were closed, her teeth were clenched, and her face was pink.
Ma Rushuang finally fixed her wandering gaze on Guan Yu's face, and opened her mouth to ask, "Who is she?" ”。
Guan Yu turned his head and glanced at Miss Ni, turned his head and said with a smile: "Oh, let me introduce you, this is one of my female generals, Ni Feiyan and Miss Ni." On the battlefield, she killed the enemy bravely, and she was really a hero. Due to his serious injury, Ben Shuai came to visit. You don't have to praise me, as the commander of an army, you should be considerate of your subordinates! ”。
Miss Rushuang didn't say a word, staring at Guan Yu's face for a moment. Suddenly, two lines of tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, which made Guan Yu a little at a loss.
Ma Rushuang sneered: "Sympathetic to subordinates? My father was also the commander of the First Army, but I have never seen him so considerate of his subordinates as you! ”。
Seeing that Miss Rushuang was crying, Guan Yu hurriedly put away her rogue appearance. Zhengse said: "Don't worry about Shuang'er, this is in the barracks, what kind of system is crying and crying?" Let me come back and explain it to you slowly. ”
Ma Rushuang pursed her mouth, her little face flushed, her breathing was short, and she asked reluctantly, "Why do you go back and explain?" Make it clear to me now! Thanks to me running all the way, my heart is worried about your safety. In front of the public, Emperor Chrysostom of Great Chu said that you and I would marry, where do you want to put me? ”。
Seeing that Miss Rushuang's face was flushed, the pear blossoms were raining, and she was crying heartbreakingly, Guan Yu finally couldn't calm down.
He said with a serious face: "Shuang'er, I can't hide it. Miss Ni met her before I met you, no matter what kind of king Lao Tzu, the marriage of the emperor's relatives or relatives, I don't care! I just listen to my heart, I like both of you, and it's two different feelings entirely. ”
Ma Rushuang raised her head slightly, looking at the man in front of her with hazy teary eyes, but now she was heartbroken, she couldn't understand what he was saying at all. Although the sky outside the tent was clear, it was already dark in her eyes, flying sand and rocks. She could clearly feel an angry flame in her chest, rushing left and right, jumping up and down, ready to find an outlet to erupt.
Guan Yu seemed to be able to sense Miss Rushuang's anger, and hurriedly took two steps forward and stretched out his hands to put them on her shoulders to calm her down as soon as possible.
If it were in the past, Ma Rushuang would be full of joy in her heart for this intimate gesture, and she couldn't ask for it. But at this time, she dodged and dodged, and pulled out the sword hanging from her waist with a "Cang Chang", and pointed at Guan Yu with the cold tip of the sword and said: "You dodge, I will kill her first, and then reason with you!" ”。
Looking at Ma Rushuang's swollen red and delicate face, Guan Yu changed color and said: "Rushuang, don't mess around, this is in my military camp, how can you be allowed to act recklessly?!" ”。
Ma Rushuang was completely unmoved, and on tiptoe bypassed Guan Yu and stabbed Ni Feiyan with a sword. Ni Feiyan, who was lying on the bed and couldn't move, opened his eyes and opened his mouth slightly, obviously in disbelief.
Xue Liang's sword tip was still some distance away from her, and with a crisp "boom", Guan Yu had already stepped forward, stretched out his right hand and flicked his fingers on the hilt of the sword, causing it to deviate from its original direction.
Miss Rushuang glared at him, pursed her lips and tried to adjust her direction, unrelentingly ready to exert her strength again.
Guan Yu had no choice but to pull out the sword behind his back, he was afraid that Ru Shuang would really hurt Ni Feiyan under his anger, so he had to fight to block.
Ru Shuang saw that he was protecting the female general everywhere, and her heart became even more angry, so she simply gritted her silver teeth and stabbed at him.
Seeing that Ru Shuang gave up her attack on Ni Feiyan and turned to vent her anger on herself, Guan Yu felt a lot more relieved in her heart.
Tossing and turning, the two of you have been fighting for dozens of rounds. On the one hand, Guan Yu gave in everywhere, and on the other hand, he secretly praised in his heart: "It seems that this little girl has not been lazy these days, and her swordsmanship has made a lot of progress!" ”。
At this time, the guards outside the tent heard a chaotic sound of "clanging" in the tent, and they actually started fighting, and they couldn't help but be shocked, and they pulled out their swords one after another, and rushed in regardless of it.
Chong rushed in, but the situation in front of him made the guards dizzy, why did Ma Dashuai's daughter actually wield a sword and move with General Guan? Haven't they both been married by the Holy Heaven? It is said that Xiao Biesheng is newly married, how did these two people start to act in a good manner? Who to help? Anyway, General Guan can't be injured or injured!
Guan Yu glanced at the embarrassed faces of the guards, and said loudly: "You all retreat, don't hurt Miss Rushuang!" ”。
Listening to his words, instead of being grateful, Ma Rushuang became even more angry, and her moves suddenly accelerated.
Guan Yu responded calmly and unhurriedly, and said with a hippie smile: "Very good, Shuang'er is making rapid progress, and I am deeply pleased with the teacher." The swordsmanship is much simpler and sharper than before! ”。
Ma Rushuang still had tears in the corners of her eyes, and she couldn't help but reply to him angrily: "Who wants you to praise!" ”。
When the guards saw General Guan's move, their movements were smooth and effortless, and their hearts were much more steady, and they all put away the swords in their hands. I secretly said in my heart: The little couple are playing, and it is really difficult for outsiders to interfere, so we can only stand by and watch the excitement!
After more than a dozen rounds of fighting, fine beads of sweat appeared on Miss Rushuang's fair forehead. Seeing that it was still difficult to break through Guan Yu's defense, she couldn't help but take a few steps back, turned her head and glared at Ni Feiyan, stomped her foot hatefully, turned around and walked out of the tent.
Seeing that Guan Yu followed step by step, she was still angry, walked to the tent, and waved a sword. With a "bang", the curtain was split in half.
Regarding chasing out of the tent, Ma Rushuang had already turned over and got on the horse without looking back. But I saw her whipping her horse, and rushing out as if no one was around.
Guan Yu turned around and came back, carefully observing Ni Feiyan, and was relieved that the fight just now didn't hurt her in the slightest.
As soon as she raised her head, she saw that Ni Feiyan's eyes were also staring at her without blinking, and her eyes were facing each other, and Miss Ni smiled with difficulty and said, "Today, you have offended Ma Dashuai's daughter!" ”。
Guan Yu shook his head and smiled: "It's okay, Shuang'er just has a little temper, and she was beaten by her father, but in fact, she is not bad." ”
Ni Feiyan grinned her pale and dry lips and said softly, "From her eyes, I know that she treats you as sincerely as I do." If anything happens to me in the future, you should cherish her more. ”
Guan Yu was slightly stunned, frowned, and said, "Bah, bah, how unlucky these words are!" Don't talk like this nonsense in the future, and when you heal from your injuries, the two of us will be ordered to get married! ”。 As he spoke, he reached out and gently grabbed Ni Feiyan's little hand.
Miss Feiyan's eyes were filled with tears again, and she did not answer, but nodded slightly. From Guan Yu's broad palm, she felt a steady stream of warmth surging into her body.
The Protector Army was defeated, and the two commanders were both killed, and the bad news did not take long to reach the capital of Daqi. A few days later, it finally reached the ears of the Great Qi Emperor Li Hongji.
When he first heard the bad news, this young emperor, who was full of enthusiasm and ambition, and was eager to carry forward the centuries-old inheritance left by his ancestors in his hands and realize Zhongxing, sat down on the ground with a pale face, and was silent for a long time.
He couldn't figure it out: a few days ago, there were successive battles and victories, good news was frequent, and the whole world celebrated, why did the wind and clouds suddenly change in a blink of an eye, and the landslide cracked? He knew very well in his heart: what the rout and demise of the Protector Army meant to the Great Qi Dynasty! Perhaps, the rest of his life can only watch the great rivers and mountains fall apart, and be eaten away by the bandits little by little.
But he doesn't seem to be able to do anything, he has the intention to kill the thief, and he can't return to the sky. He was not reconciled.
In the middle of the night, the emperor's bedroom was brightly lit and no one slept.
Li Hongji turned his hands behind his back with a solemn face, pacing back and forth, occasionally looking down at the group of black-clothed people kneeling at his feet.
These people are the "secret team" in the mouth of the dead Zheng Gonggong, and they are Li Hongji's last family background.
Originally, these people were painstakingly trained to monitor the courtiers' every move. These people owe allegiance to him alone. No matter how noble their official positions and how prominent their reputations are, in the eyes of these people, they are only objects of surveillance and suspicion.
He didn't use these people to fight for his life when he overthrew the two Dazai, and even removed Prince Gong, who was a thorn in his eye, and only let them be responsible for closely monitoring in the dark. Now, he had to push them to the forefront, making a last-ditch effort for the survival of the Great Qi Dynasty, desperately trying to buy precious time.
Li Hongji stopped, and said in a low and majestic voice: "When you go to infiltrate Pingzhou, you have only one goal: no matter how much it costs, you will do everything you can to kill the traitor Liu Qian and create panic and chaos among the thieves. The widow has issued an order to transfer the men and horses that can be used in the territory to gain time to build another line of defense, so as to wait for work and give the Great Chu thieves a head-on blow! ”。
The black-clothed men who had been on their knees and kept silent suddenly said in unison: "I will swear allegiance to the Holy God and go to the soup and fire!" ”。
Li Hongji nodded with a little relief, looked at one of the strong men who was a little older and had a black mole on his face, and asked, "How many other heroes have you contacted?" ”。
The man hurriedly bowed his head and kowtowed: "The Holy One can rest assured, everything has already been arranged, and the lowly officials swear allegiance to the Holy Lord to the death, and go to the soup and fire, and they will not give up!" ”。
Li Hongji waved his hand and said, "Very good, you will leave immediately." Can you turn the tide, in one fell swoop! I will wait in the palace for good news."
