Chapter 90: Descending to Earth (11)

Zero Lu nodded, tears falling heavily on the ground.

Zero dew together, dust off the ashes on your body, wipe the tears from your face, and take a deep breath.

"I'm fine!" said Zero Lu, knowing that Zero Lu was just pretending to be calm, and if she collapsed now, Mrs. De would be even more helpless

As soon as Ling Lu entered Mrs. De's bedroom, Mrs. De was still sitting at the table, as if her soul had left her body

Linglu squatted down and looked at Mrs. De, but she still couldn't hold back her tears, tears slipped down the sides of her cheeks and said, "Mother, you can't fall down again, otherwise there will really be no one behind me!"

Ling Lu instructed the maid to take care of her wife and always pay attention to her emotions.

As soon as he got out of the dormitory, Ling Lu asked Tule, "How many days does my father have to go to the capital?"

Tule said: "Counting the time, you can enter the imperial capital tomorrow!"

"Good! At the second watch, the funeral began to be arranged in the house!" said Ling Lu

"Second watch?" Tule looked puzzled

"Although my father's official position is not high, the people who come and go in broad daylight are probably full of discussions, and I know that I can't avoid this gossip, so it is a moment to be late!"

"Yes, Miss!"

The second watch's Defu began to be busy up and down, and his movements were extremely light, and he had no sleepiness this night, and he sat on the floor of the bedroom with his arms in his arms.

This night, Zero Lu did not shed a single tear, and finally a ray of light in the early morning entered the bedroom, Zero Lu got up, and the moment he pushed open the bedroom door, the naughtiness and liveliness of the past on his face disappeared.

Everything in Defu entered the eyes of zero dew, and Defu hung up mourning flags, the big ones were three zhang six, wrapped in white cloth, and the sail was one zhang four long and seven feet wide.

There was also a strip of white cloth on the left and right, seven feet long and nine inches wide, in the middle of the mourning tent.

On the right is the whole flag, which is two feet high and one sail long, five feet long, three feet wide, and four feet wide and two feet wide on the left and right.

Tule held the mourning clothes in his hand, and before he could speak, Ling Lu took it, entered the dormitory, changed into mourning clothes, and left the dormitory again.

The top and bottom of the Defu were wrapped in white cloth, and Ling Lu asked, "Is my mother okay?"

"Madame...."Before the maid could speak, she saw Mrs. De being helped out by a maidservant, dressed in mourning clothes, and grieved excessively.

Linglu trotted two steps closer to Mrs. De and said softly, "Mother!"

Seeing that Mrs. De was weak and weak, she knew that she must have not slept all night last night, and Linglu said: "Mother, you go back to the bedroom to rest!"

Halfway through, Mrs. De shook her head and said, "I want to see your father for the last time!"

Linglu, who pretended to be strong, heard Mrs. De's words, and the tears in her eyes were unprepared.

"Tule, help my mother in!" said Ling Lu as she lowered her head and wiped her tears

Tule gave up his hand and helped Mrs. De into the mourning hall...

I saw a team enter the imperial capital and go all the way to Defu, where all the people in Defu were dressed in mourning clothes and knelt on the ground to welcome Dejin.

Dejin's coffin entered the mourning hall steadily, and Mrs. De caressed the coffin and cried silently.

"I want to see my dad with my mother again!" said Zero Lu, looking at the messenger who had returned from Tongcheng

The envoy arched his hand and said: "Lord De's coffin has been nailed in Tongcheng, and..." The envoy looked at Mrs. De and said: "Mrs. De is too sad, if you see Lord De again, I am afraid that I will be even more grief-stricken!"

Zero Dew nodded, agreeing with what the envoy said...

Ling Lu looked at the coffin, tears couldn't stop flowing, watching his mother lying on the coffin, heartbreaking, Ling Lu walked over, squatted down, hugged his mother, at this time... It may really not be possible to comfort in words.

For several days, the German government was immersed in grief...

"Did you hear that? Lord Dejinde is dead..."

"I've heard of it..."

"It's also posthumously sealed..."

"I didn't have a reputation when I was alive, but I became famous when I died..."

"Isn't it..."

"Did you hear how you died?...?"

"I heard that I didn't learn about water and soil ... when I was in the side plug"

"I also heard that I had a serious illness while I was on the road..."

"This Wei clan is going to be a widow..."

“.........”

Today, when Lord De was buried, the people on both sides were talking, and the words had penetrated through the ears of Linglu...

If this matter had been put in the past, Zero Lu would have come forward to argue, but now Zero Lu will not, these days, Zero Lu seems to have changed a person, much calmer.

After the burial of Lord De, Mrs. De fell ill, and lay on the couch all day, unable to get up, coughing was an earth-shattering sound, and her body was extremely weak...

Linglu no longer sneaked out of the Defu to go out to play, but stayed in the Defu to take care of things in the house all day.

"Miss. Tule entered the room with a thick stack of ancient books

"Just leave it here!" Zero didn't raise his head, and he didn't put down the ancient book he was holding

Tule put down the ancient book and looked at Ling Lu with a haggard face and said, "Miss, you rest and rest!"

"No!" Ling Lu said, put down the ancient book and looked at Tule and said, "Has the doctor been here today?"

"I've finished checking my pulse, and I've just sent it away!" said Tule

"How's it going?"

Tule said: "The doctor has prescribed a few prescriptions, and someone has been sent to grab the medicine!"

Ling Lu didn't speak again, Tule looked at Ling Lu and said, "Miss, you also have to take care of your body, in the near future..."

Tu Le, who was blocked by Linglu, wanted to continue: "My mother is now ill, and several doctors have not seen any improvement in their pulse, so I asked you to help me find these medical books, just to see if there is any other way!"

Tule is a person who understands zero exposure, so he no longer discourages him, Tule lifted his shirt and said: "Miss, I'll help you find it together!"

In addition to the German government, everyone in the city is more vigilant...

"Major General!" Chu Ning said

"The envoy has returned, and according to the instructions of the major general, the coffin has not been opened!"

"Well, that's fine!" Yao Ling said, Yao Ling got up and walked to the sand table, pulled out his sword and pointed at the sand table and said, "Adjutant General, what do you think differently?"

Chu Ning arched his hand and said: "Major General, since our army has been stationed in Tongcheng, it has been mainly defensive, not afraid of Dongsai, Dongsai provoked our army, although it was a small friction, but Dongsai suffered heavy casualties!"

Chu Ning paused and said: "But there has been no movement in Dongsai recently, and the minister feels that Dongsai may be planning a bigger battle!"

Yao Ling nodded...

Chu Ning looked at the sand table and said, "Young General, the minister is not clear about anything!"

"Do you want to ask me, I have many chances to win, why do I keep standing still?" Yao Ling knew Chu Ning's meaning

"Yes, whether it is a head-on battle or a sneak attack, our army can win a big victory!" Chu Ning said

"Well, the enemy doesn't move, I don't move, the sword on the battlefield has no eyes..."

Yao Ling's words were deeply seared into Chu Ning's heart, he understood the meaning of Yao Ling's words, the sword on the battlefield was eyeless, Yao Ling didn't want any of the soldiers to die on the battlefield, although it was impossible, but Yao Ling worked very hard to minimize this matter...

Yao Ling paused and said, "But... Now this battle is inevitable!"

As he spoke, he handed a note to Chu Ning, and Chu Ning said, "Yes!"

Chu Ning took the note, left with his hand, and jumped on his horse, carrying a tube of feather arrows behind him. Urging the horses to whip up and gallop.

On the third watch, the city gate was opened with a 'squeak', and Chu Ning galloped on horseback, drowning in the middle of the night.

As soon as he arrived at the Dongsai military camp, Chu Ning sat firmly on horseback, took out an arrow from the quiver on his back and immediately put it on, and drew the bow.

Dongsai's patriarch: Li Geng, and Li Geng's assistant is his own brother: Li Sheng

On the day of the third watch, Li Geng was already asleep in the tent, Li Geng heard the noise, woke up from his dream, and thought that Yao Ling sent troops to rob the camp, he hurriedly put on his clothes and sat up, and there was already a feather arrow swishing into the tent, Li Geng picked it up and looked, a pure black arrow, and a note was tied to the arrow.

Li Geng opened the note, and there was only one line of words written on the note: "War or surrender? ”

Li Geng angrily crumpled the note into a ball, and the green tendons on his neck burst out: "Arrogance!"

Li Geng shook his hand and walked out of the tent camp, the camp was heavily guarded, and the last deliberate provocation through the city caused heavy casualties, which dealt a heavy blow to the soldiers and frustrated the morale of the soldiers.

"Führer!" the soldiers looked at Li Geng and gave up their hands

Li Gengke saw that the lights in his brother's tent were bright, and as soon as he entered his brother's tent, Li Geng said, "Brother!"

"Führer!" Li Sheng hurriedly put down the art of war book in his hand

"Brother, I just received a letter from Tongcheng!" Li Geng said

Li Sheng leaned behind his back with his hands and asked, "What do they mean?"

Li Geng frowned and said: "The young general of the imperial capital is uncertain, and the principle of doing things is also very unique, that is... Look at the mood!"

Li Sheng said: "I heard that a civil official who came to Tongcheng from the imperial capital died violently for no reason, can his war letter be related to this matter?"

"What are we doing in Dongsai? Tongcheng is heavily guarded, and besides, a mere civil official is either not accustomed to water and soil, and the imperial capital is far away from Tongcheng, or he has been seriously ill on the way here?" Li Geng said

Li Sheng said: "The Führer's analysis is good, but what if this young general takes advantage of this matter to ferment?

"Brother means, our army deliberately provoked him once, this time... He took advantage of the fact that a civilian official died violently for no reason, and deliberately said that our army was deliberately provoking again, so that he could attack our army openly, or our army would be willing to pay!" Li Geng suddenly realized

Li Sheng arched his hand and said: "Führer, this matter... Now two years of advance and retreat, the only way to fight!"

"I don't know, his trick is really high!" Li Geng looked melancholy

The sun was rising, the fog had not yet dissipated, and the Li army, which had been silent for several days, was dispatched.

With a loud and urgent horn, the army of Yaoling's camp was dispatched, and it was as black as a pine forest all over the field, and the formation seemed to be roughly the same as that of the Li army.

The central infantry army is 100,000, and the cavalry on both wings is 50,000 each, a total of 200,000.

These are two armies with comparable strength but different styles, not to mention that the Yaoling army holds a broad long sword, the Li army has a crescent sword, and the cavalry on both wings is even different.

Yao Ling stood on top of the city wall, and there was Chu Ning on one side, and the military flag held high in the hands of the army could be clearly seen from top to bottom.
