Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Secret Passage
Xu Lingling understands that Shi Yiqiu is suffering from emotional injuries, and the so-called trapped by love is what she says, this kind of pain cannot be healed overnight, and time is the best medicine to heal all this.
"I know how you feel, but what you need most now is to take care of your heart." Xu Lingling said.
"Nourish your heart......" Shi Yiqiu muttered.
"I asked people to build a room by the garden, Sister Qiu will live there during this time, the environment here is very good, and no one comes on weekdays, which is very suitable for you now." Xu Lingling handed over a key.
"Thank you......" Shi Yiqiu took the key.
For the help given by Xu Lingling, Shi Yiqiu was not hypocritical, she understood that this was not charity. These days of time with Xu Lingling made her really understand the existence of the gods mentioned by Xu Lingling's Holy Sect, if there are no gods in this world, how did a girl like Xu Lingling be born?
Shi Yiqiu didn't know Xu Lingling's life experience and past, and for a while, like all the people who had seen Xu Lingling, she thought that this was the person who was loved by the gods, and the incarnation of the gods in this world.
Like everyone else, although they revere Xu Lingling, they also take it all for granted, a blessing from the gods.
Xu Lingling didn't say anything about this, if she didn't care that it was fake, she had done so much, and she wanted to be praised like all girls. But in fact, this kind of careful thinking was still buried deep in her heart, and it was not even within the scope of what she could mention to the gods.
Xu Lingling glanced at the boulder before leaving, she knew that Zhao Fu was now on the battlefield in Zhongzhou, and she could only hope that Zhao Fu would return victorious as usual.
Then he told himself the story of the battlefield lightly.
Then listen to yourself about the little things you have been talking about lately.
Shikahara Castle.
"Why are the defenders of this Luyuan City even less than expected?" Zhao Fu said in surprise.
"I don't know...... It shouldn't be. Zhao Qian was also confused, not knowing what the situation was.
Three days ago, Zhao Fu led the Iron Arm Army to set off in advance in Jiulian City, which was the battle plan he came up with after discussing with **.
Because Zhao Fu couldn't do such a grudge as slaughtering the city, there was no way for him to prevent the news from Jiulian City from being transmitted to the outside, and presumably the two heirs of the Zhao family must have buried all kinds of spies in Jiulian City.
Therefore, Zhao Fu directly turned the Iron Arm Army into scouts, broke them into pieces and quietly dispersed, and in order to dispel the suspicion of the other party, half a day later, ** immediately assembled a large army outside the city gate and marched in the direction of Mustard City.
Zhao Fu is to make the time difference between the enemy's information transmission error to buy the maximum time for himself and the Iron Arm Army.
Presumably, Lin Ji should also take over Jiulian City now, right? Zhao Fu estimated the time in his heart.
After three days of rapid marching, Zhao Fu had arrived in Luyuan City, and now all the Iron Arm Army was repairing in a small forest less than ten miles outside Luyuan City.
According to the reports of several scouts in disguise, Luyuan City's defense strength at the moment is so weak that it is almost comparable to Jiulian City, and even if you add the city wall that has been in disrepair for a long time, it may be easier to handle than Jiulian City.
This is really a bit abnormal, there must be a demon when something goes wrong, Zhao Fu thought that he had to be cautious, in case it was an empty city plan.
Faced with the situation that the emptiness was completely incompatible with the defensive strength that Luyuan City should have, Zhao Fu was very calm and did not choose to test the reality of Luyuan City, anyway, he was paying attention to the detour.
Although a Luyuan City that can be taken directly is an absolute temptation for anyone, Zhao Fu's caution made Zhao Fu still choose to act according to the previous plan, after all, even if Luyuan City is taken, it will not affect the overall situation, but if it attracts the attention of the enemy because of the capture of Luyuan City, it will be more than worth the loss if a large number of troops are transferred to encircle and suppress.
What's more, the Iron Arm Army is Zhao Fu's pro-army, and it is also the most important force in Zhao Fu's hands, Zhao Fu still adheres to the idea of minimizing losses, so now Zhao Fu only has Zhongzhou City in his eyes.
As long as Zhongzhou City is won and Zhao Qian can legally succeed to the throne, it will be worth it.
On the contrary, if Zhongzhou City can't be won, even if Zhao Fu takes Luyuan City, Bailan City and Mustard City, it will be useless.
"Anyway, we're still going according to plan, is that secret passage reliable?" Zhao Fu asked.
"Not many people know, I also know from a big treasurer, there shouldn't be anyone at this point in time." Zhao Qian said.
There is a secret passage that has long been abandoned twenty miles outside Luyuan City, which was originally controlled by a chamber of commerce, and then the chamber of commerce gradually declined, and this secret passage that not many people knew was completely erased from the map. Zhao Qian also stumbled upon it when he was sorting out the information, so he found the big shopkeeper who had worked in the chamber of commerce before to come over and learn about the situation, originally planned to make this business road active again, but he didn't expect this surprise attack to be useful.
By the time the scout in front of him sent back the news, the secret passage had indeed been sealed for a long time, and there was no trace of anyone walking around recently.
"Okay, the whole army will set off, and we will go to Zhongzhou City to rest for a few days!"
Zhao Fu rode on the horse, and took one last look at the direction of Luyuan City, to be honest, it is really difficult not to be greedy for this Luyuan City.
However, go, you still have to go when it's time to go.
Not only the lives of the Iron Arm Army, but also the northwest, which should not be the peace of the entire Lanhe Empire, are all in this battle.
If it can be ended sooner, then I am afraid that the current chaotic situation can be changed earlier, at least Zhao State will not become the initiator of the war again, and this alone is equivalent to saving the lives and deaths of tens of millions of people.
And just when Zhao Fu led the Iron Arm Army to gallop on the long-abandoned trade road, Lin Ji and the others finally arrived in Jiulian City.
Looking at Jiulian City, which had just experienced a big battle, Lin Ji only had admiration in his heart, if he was allowed to attack, it would be absolutely impossible to do it in half a day, even if he gave him the Iron Arm Army.
Thinking of this, Lin Ji was a little gloomy, yes, he was the commander of the Iron Arm Army before.
But now, Lin Ji didn't know why the situation suddenly reversed, he originally followed the normal path of military promotion, and followed Zhao Fuli on the grassland and returned to Beijing. But I don't want Lin Haoyan to be assassinated first, and then Zhao Guo directly told the world about their ambitions, and it also completely ignited the flames of the civil war in the Lanhe Empire.
Then, he was recruited by Lin Sixing and became the commander of the new Imperial Guard, and then he was sent to support Zhongzhou......
