Text Section 38 The Princess's Sorrows

The bloody iron fist of the bright moon shocked everyone. Including Duan Lang, no one expected that this seemingly weak woman would have such a thunderous side.

Mingyue ordered the head of Kuchade to be sent to the battalions to set an example, and ordered the generals to go back and give a strict warning. After the arrangement, the generals present were left with only Meng Du standing alone.

Tangtai Mingyue changed her fierceness just now, and said gently, "General Mengdu, I know you are dissatisfied. From the general's point of view, he will definitely find an excuse for his subordinates to be angry. He even said that he did not hesitate to wash Yushanguan bloodily to provoke a war between the two countries. You're right, I would do the same if it were a different place. ”

Yutai Mingyue paused slightly, and then said, "However, as the princess of Beimingguo, I have to think about the entire Beiming. The border between the Northern Ming Dynasty and Great Xia has always been reassured by his father. Now, however, the situation has become unmanageable. You have to know how many families will be torn apart and how many men will die on the battlefield in a war. Of course, this princess is not saying that Daxia will not be held responsible, but I need you to give me a little time. General Mengdu, please forgive me for the verbal collision just now. ”

Meng Du hurriedly clenched his fists, "No, no, Princess Mingyue is serious, and it is because the last general is not strict in discipline that this situation will happen." Please rest assured that there will never be a next time in this situation. ”

Tantai Mingyue bowed slightly, "Very good, this princess believes that General Mengdu can understand this princess's distress." The general is not to blame Mingyue for being ruthless, even if the Yushan Pass is bloodied, it will usher in endless wars and killings. Even if my Northern Ming army finally wins, it will be the accumulation of countless loyal white bones. I, Beiming, am not afraid of war, but this princess also doesn't want to see those miserable weepers. I will draw up a note detailing the situation regarding the mutiny, you go down first, I have some things to discuss with the envoy of Great Xia Qincha alone. ”

"The last will be retired." Meng Du had a false alarm, and hurriedly returned to his marshal mansion with his own soldiers.

Yutai Mingyue asked everyone to retreat, and then dismounted and came to Han Feng's side. Seeing that Han Feng was still gasping for breath, Tantai Mingyue hurriedly asked.

"Master, you're not injured, do you need to let a military medical officer come and treat you?"

Han Feng waved his hand, "It's not in the way, age doesn't forgive, it's really a little unmoving." Mingyue, you talk, I'll find a place to meditate first. ”

The scene that was still chaotic just now suddenly quieted down. The price of this quietness was paid for the head of a general.

The two of them came to the house, Duan Lang hugged his fists and said, "Princess Mingyue, I don't hesitate to kill the generals with an iron fist in the next place, and I am grateful for the next one." ”

"Commander Duan, in fact, I am not doing this for you, but for the sake of the entire Beiming. To tell the truth, this princess does not want to provoke war, but she is not afraid of war either. I also did this to show Beiming's attitude, and I hope that Commander Duan can understand what he means. Tantai Mingyue said with a little tiredness.

"Princess Mingyue, don't worry, after I go back, I will urge Lord Qincha to find out the truth as soon as possible and give the princess a satisfactory answer."

"A mere reply is definitely not enough, the person who provoked the incident has ill intentions, and the messenger must give me an explanation. Only in this way can I truly appease the soldiers. In addition, I can also deal with my father's side. ”

Duan Lang nodded and sighed, "Understood." ”

Tantai Mingyue looked at Duan Lang, hesitated for a moment and said, "Master treats me like a relative, and I think it's a bit raw to call you Commander Duan." Otherwise, if you call me Mingyue in private, I'll call you Brother Duan. ”

Duan Lang said with a smile, "I grew up in the mountains and forests, and I don't know how much etiquette I have. If the princess doesn't mind, then I'll call you Mingyue. ”

A smile appeared on Mingyue's face, "I didn't have any friends since I was a child, except for Master, I didn't even have anyone who could tell the truth, including my father and mother. Now it's okay, if I have any worries in the future, I can talk to Brother Duan. ”

"You trust me so much? Don't forget that I'm the ruler of Great Xia. ”

"I trust Master, and I trust my instincts even more. To be honest, since I was a child, I didn't want to be looked down upon by my father and brothers, so I was very strong and shrewd everywhere. But behind this strength, they seem to have forgotten that I am just a weak woman. My father used me more and more, and even aroused the jealousy of my royal brother. Now, I'm getting more and more scared, afraid that I won't be able to do it well. Tantai Mingyue was slightly distracted, and there was an indescribable sadness in Kanlan's eyes.

Duan Lang smiled, "I didn't expect that the third princess, who was as selfless as a Rakshasa just now, would become a pitiful little beauty in the blink of an eye." If it is seen by those generals, I am afraid that this big battalion will be able to fry the pot. ”

Duan Lang had something to say in his heart, but the title of this 'little beauty' made Tangtai Mingyue feel a little warm and shy. No one spoke to her like this, and the courtiers of Beiming were all shrouded in her princess aura, except for admiration, humility. Even the two royal brothers rarely made her as happy as they did when they were children.

"Mingyue, am I not right? Why are you looking at me like that? ”

"Uh~!"

Only then did Tangtai Mingyue realize that she was staring directly at others, which was indeed rude. Yutai Mingyue's face turned red, and she quickly changed the topic and said.

"Brother Duan, it seems that I can't keep you, you must return to Yushan Pass immediately. I believe Brother Duan, only when you go back can you urge Na Qincha to investigate quickly. In addition, Mingyue has a reluctant request I don't know if to say it? ”

Duan Lang was stunned, "Mingyue, if you have anything, you just say it, you don't have to be polite." ”

"Well, I'll get straight to the point. Before I came, I had already sent a message to my father, Flying Pigeon, informing me of everything here. The war, whether it is Northern Ming or Great Xia, will bear a heavy burden. Moreover, everywhere the fighting went, there were mountains of corpses, and the people were displaced and the people were struggling to survive. Therefore, I suggested to my father that the two countries sign an alliance to cultivate the good of eternity. ”

Duan Lang frowned slightly, and praised happily, "Okay, if Great Xia and Beiming can sign an alliance, it will really be a blessing for the people of the two countries." ”

"So, I want to ask Brother Duan for help and see if I can get Lord Qincha to facilitate this. If His Majesty the Emperor of Great Xia agrees, we will invite the Qin Cha to our capital with the etiquette of an envoy and sign an alliance with my father. ”

"This~!" Duan Lang hesitated, "I don't dare to guarantee it, but this kind of thing is about the common people in the world, and I will try my best to convince Qin Cha." ”

"Okay, I won't keep Brother Duan. The mutiny has just been suppressed, I have to go to the various military camps to take a look, and if there is any situation over there in Daxia, I hope that Brother Duan will inform me in time. ”

"Princess Mingyue, don't worry, with the seventh uncle here, I will urge Shangguan Qincha to exert the greatest authority, and will not let anything happen in Yushan Pass. By the way, Uncle Seven exerted too much force just now, so I won't bother him. I'll come back as soon as there's news over there. ”

Tantai Mingyue nodded and personally escorted Duan Lang out of the camp. In order to prevent accidents, Tangtai Mingyue specially sent a team of soldiers and horses to escort Duan Lang to Yushan Pass. He did this because he was afraid that those mutinous soldiers who were not convinced would happen again.

Duan Langlai went back in a hurry, and Tai Mingyue made a full gesture, and he had to hurry up to let Zhang Ruming respond. In any case, if you kill thirty people on the other side, someone must come out and take this responsibility.

In Yushan Pass, Zhang Ruming called He Lianjia to the government office. Knowing that Lord Chincha was going to ask about the details of the night before and after his order, Helian said in his heart that I don't remember clearly. If it hadn't been for the drunkenness that night, such a big thing wouldn't have happened.

"My lord, what time is this, why do you still have the heart to ask about this? It's not that the officials are disrespectful, I really want to rush back to the city. In case the enemy army comes, it will not work without the main general. He Lianjia said anxiously.

Don't look at Zhang Ruming sending his own commander to negotiate peace, He Lianjia doesn't believe that a small commander can make people quit. Therefore, the top and bottom of the city still tightened the fortifications, preparing to meet the siege of the Northern Ming army.

"What's the hurry, didn't this Heavenly Master send Commander Duan to negotiate peace. Don't worry, don't worry, it's not too late for you to leave after I ask clearly. ”

He Lianjia said with a bitter face, "My lord, the war between the two countries is not a child's play, and your commander may ~ not be able to come back." Of course, General Ben admired his courage and courage, and if there was an accident, General Ben would definitely kill a few more Beiming thieves to avenge him. ”

Zhang Ruming's face turned cold, "What do you say, Lord Ben is a Heavenly Master who is with the gods, and he will bless him on behalf of the gods a long time ago, who dares to be disrespectful to the commander of my Heavenly Master Palace, the gods will kill him with a thunderbolt." Don't worry, this Heavenly Master has calculated that Beiming will definitely not send troops. ”

"It's best not to send troops, but once the end of the troops is not on the scene, Yushan Pass is likely to not be able to resist even an attack. My lord, the last general knows that the guilt is great, but I must return to the city. As long as you can resist the Beiming army, you can cut off my head when you turn around. He Lianjia stood up and said tragically.

Zhang Ruming touched his head, and said in his heart that this guy is still a man. At least he did not shirk his responsibility, and he was determined to fight to the death. With this alone, even if it is his responsibility, Lao Tzu has to protect him.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ruming said, "In this case, then Lord Ben will accompany you to the city." If the enemy dares to attack, Lord Ben will shoot the first arrow on behalf of the gods. ”

He Lianjia looked at Zhang Ruming in disbelief, he thought that it would be very difficult for this Shangguan Heavenly Master not to escape immediately, but he didn't expect that this guy would dare to fight the enemy with him.

He Lianjia clenched his fists excitedly and said excitedly, "If Lord Qincha can be with the soldiers, the lower officials believe that this Yushan Pass will be able to be defended." Please rest assured that you will not let anyone hurt you. ”

Zhang Ruming looked at the sky outside, and it was not too far from noon. Although he boasted about Haikou, he didn't know at all whether the Beiming army would really come.

Fang Yan, who had never spoken, also quietly gave a thumbs up to Zhang Ruming. Anyway, at this time, Qin Cha appeared above the city, and Fang Yan knew how much encouragement he had for the soldiers.

Zhang Ruming ordered Liu Xusheng to immediately form a team, and everyone followed him to Yushan Guanchengtou. The five hundred black-armored guards were in high spirits, showing the majesty of the forbidden army in their orders.

He Lianjia was moved to tears, how did he know that if there was really an enemy attack, these five hundred people would not help to fight. Zhang Ruming had already calculated, if the army really attacked, he would immediately protect him and escape from Yushan Pass. As for whether he will be laughed at and cursed by everyone, he will not care about these, and his life is important.

The atmosphere in Yushan Pass is like a tight bowstring. The top of the city was piled with rolling wood and thunder stones, and trapped arrows were also placed aside. As soon as Helianjia left just now, all the soldiers showed their loss, and they thought that the Lord General was going to flee.

The appearance of He Lianjia immediately cheered up everyone, and when they learned that Lord Qincha led his troops to fight the enemy with them, a compliment of the mountains and a tsunami suddenly sounded inside and outside the city wall. Whether it was the soldiers or the people assisting in the defense, they were all excited and tearful. Many people even knelt on the ground and shouted, Lord Qincha was mighty.

Zhang Ruming's small move raised everyone's morale in an instant. Zhang Ruming stood high above the head of the city, signaling the soldiers and people in the city to be quiet, and he wanted to say a few words.

Zhang Ruming's face was sacred, and he was about to perform his magic trick, when suddenly, someone from the observation guard shouted.

"It's not good, there are enemy soldiers~!"

With this voice, Zhang Ruming's legs were weak, and he almost didn't fall off the city wall!
