Qinglinjiang, the military command headquarters of the Northern Theater!

Nangong Xiongba was listening to the general commander report on Ling Xia's situation, and returned to the theater headquarters from Ziyanjiang to command, the general commander told Ling Xia what happened to him as it was, and after listening, Nangong Xiongba said with an incredible face:

"What? Ling Xia was beaten by the princess and couldn't get out of bed? How so? Are you sure Ling Xia is really injured? Did he not want to accept the call-up of the commander, so he pretended to be injured in order to avoid the call-up order in the war zone? ”

"Qiyu Dadu, the horse was indeed abolished by the princess, and the last general personally checked the horse's injury, which can be described as shocking, not only can the horse not be beaten on the outside to see the human form, but even the internal organs have been displaced, which makes people unbearable to look at it directly." The general officer sighed.

"Are you sure Ling Xia's injuries were inflicted by the princess?" Nangong Xiongba asked unwillingly.

"The end will be certain." replied to this sentence categorically, and the general commander explained: "After the last general left the Battle Flag Division, he went to the Liulijiang Governor's Mansion and inquired from the outside, and the people there spread the news.

Many people have seen with their own eyes the princess beating the horse, saying that the horse went to the princess with flowers to say goodbye, just in time for the princess to fall ill, but the horse not only failed to say goodbye, but was beaten by the princess, this is true, there is no falsehood. ”

"I still know the princess's character, she is arrogant and cold, she doesn't like those tricks the most, this is a person's nature, so she will never cooperate with Ling Xia to deceive the world, so it seems that all this is really a coincidence.

But the question is, how did it happen so coincidentally? The princess actually fell ill at this time, it doesn't matter if she is sick, my plan to recruit Ling Xia can only be shelved, alas...... It took a hundred days for the injured muscles and bones to move, and Ling Xia's injury had to be recuperated for at least three months before he could recover. ”

Speaking of this, Nangong Xiongba showed a trace of sadness: "The battle situation is changing day by day, and after three months, who knows what the battle situation will become?" Originally, I expected Ling Xia to be able to fight against Gang Ning Ichiro, but now that he can't come, who should I send into battle?

Heavenly Demon Green Bamboo assists Gu Xiuyuan to sit in the Eastern Theater, the Northern Qilin assists Long Jiuzhong to attack the Western Theater, and Prime Minister Zhuge and Zhang Huaji are in charge ------of the Southern Theater, alas, there are four theaters, only I have no military advisors here to give advice, it seems that I can only ask my father and his old man. ”

sighed, Nangong Xiongba walked to the desk, spread out the paper and ink, he wrote a handwritten letter, and truthfully reported the encounter in front of him, like Nangong Hongru's method of seeking advice, after writing, he sealed the letter and asked the general commander Feige to send the letter to the imperial capital.

……

The Dadu Governor's Mansion next to the Imperial Palace, originally this was the residence of Nangong Xiongba, after the four princes ascended the throne and became the emperor, they expanded and renovated here, and now it has become the temporary foothold of the Nangong family in the imperial capital.

This is next to the palace, next to the stationing of a reorganized corps, is the main force to protect the palace, the emperor in order to show his favor, specially rewarded the Nangong family with five tokens, the holder of the token can enter and exit the palace at any time, which shows the emperor's reliance and trust in the Nangong family.

In the evening of this day, Nangong Hongru had just returned from the palace to discuss politics, and was about to go to the study, when suddenly, the official family ran over with Nangong Xiongba's handwritten letter to look for Nangong Hongru, he had been paying attention to the situation in the northern war zone, and when he heard Nangong Xiongba's handwritten letter, he felt bad in his heart.

Standing at the door to open the letter, after seeing the contents inside, Nangong Hongru turned around and walked towards the pavilion next to him, only to see him holding his hands behind his back, holding the handwritten letter between his fingertips, and fell silent from the pavilion with a thoughtful face, and after a while, he asked the housekeeper to reply to a letter, and said, "Got it." ”

……

Although Ling Xia's injuries are serious, but in fact, those are skin injuries, and he is already alive and kicking after a month, today, he is holding the disaster relief situation reported by Ji Siming, and is looking through the disaster relief process in Penglai Jiang from the barracks.

At this moment, suddenly, Jiang Hailiu, who was training soldiers from outside, hurriedly ran into the camp tent: "General, outside------ outside------ a few celebrant eunuchs came outside, saying that they were ordered by the emperor to come to our division to read the holy decree." ”

"What? Divine decree? Puzzled, Ling Xia wanted to hide back on the bed and lie down, but as soon as he sat down, five eunuchs walked in from outside, and the old eunuch in the lead was Ling Xia's acquaintance, that person was originally the eunuch next to the first emperor, and now he serves the new emperor.

"Horse Lingxia takes the order."

As soon as several eunuchs entered the big tent of the Battle Flag Division, they saw Ling Xia half-sitting on the wooden bed, glanced at Ling Xia, and the celebrant raised his hand and raised the holy decree in his hand, and after unfolding it, he slowly read the holy decree in his sharp and unique voice.

Although a lot of words were written on the holy decree, but to sum up, the content is that the situation in the northern theater is unfavorable, and since Ling Xia is the commander of the division registered in the imperial court and the first warrior in the world who was enshrined by the first emperor, he should naturally take the lead and lead the troops to kill the enemy and share the worries of the imperial court.

The current emperor, that is, Xia Yuanxiao, the fourth prince, used the method of issuing a holy decree to force Ling Xia to lead the battle flag division to participate in the battle, and ordered Ling Xia to immediately go to the front line to participate in the battle.

Ling Xia didn't expect Nangong Xiongba to come to such a hand, and he was actually able to ask the emperor to issue the holy decree, after listening to the content of the holy decree, seeing that the eunuch Si Li signaled that he would go over to receive the decree, Ling Xia thought for a moment, and then pointed to his leg.

He lied that his upper body had recovered, but his legs were not yet neat, so he couldn't get up to answer the order, perhaps guessing that Ling Xia would find this kind of excuse, as soon as Ling Xia finished speaking, the eunuch pointed to the outside of the tent and said that the emperor was concerned about Ling Xia's injury, so he sent two imperial doctors to accompany him.

Hearing that the emperor had even sent the imperial doctor, Ling Xia was speechless for a moment, he muttered for a moment, he raised his hand to take the holy decree, and when he saw that Ling Xia had received the decree, the eunuch was relieved, and then he wanted to go back, but Ling Xia stopped the eunuch and refused to let them go back.

After retaining the eunuch and the two imperial doctors outside, Ling Xia beckoned people to pick them up and wash the dust, and during the banquet, he hinted that everyone would get the eunuch and the imperial doctor drunk, and after pushing the cup and changing the lamp, everyone was poured down, and seeing that several people were already drunk, Ling Xia loaded them into the carriage, and he set off on horseback overnight.

"Where are we going, colt? Why do you have to take a few of them on the road," Situ Chenfeng, who accompanied him, asked.

"Where else can I go, of course I'm looking for a beating, and I'll have to beat me up." After saying this with a helpless face, Ling Xia pointed to the drunken eunuch and the imperial doctor: "As for taking them on the road, that's because I need them to act as witnesses, go, go to the Yamen of the Liulijiang Governor's Mansion, and you must arrive before dawn." ”
