Chapter 43: Linghu Mingyue

Fuqu Bainian was thundered by an arrow through the ribs, endured the pain in his heart, and ordered the Hun army to quickly pass through the valley in front, Fuqu Bainian's forehead was full of sweat, and his right hand covered the wound and prostrate on the horse's back.

When the Hun army behind him passed through the valley, the whole person fainted on the horse's back, and the arrows behind him were stuck straight behind his back.

"General, wake up. Fast! Quickly escort the general back. ”

The guards on the side of Fuqu Centennial supported the Frustrated Qu Centennial who fainted on horseback, quickly broke the arrow behind him, and after simply treating the wound, he protected the Frustrated Qu Centennial and quickly galloped towards Lejuan.

"General, why didn't you give the order not to chase and kill the past?" Lei Ming originally wanted to lead the army to chase after him, but was stopped by Li Yan, and felt a pity when he watched the Hun army flee across the valley.

"There is a long and narrow valley ahead, I don't know if the Huns have an ambush, if you rashly pursue, in case the frustration of the canal for a hundred years is deliberately luring me to Daliang to lead the army to throw himself into the net, the consequences will be unimaginable." Li Yan looked at the long and narrow valley in front of him and said in a deep voice.

"It's a pity that I almost took the life of that dog thief for a hundred years."

"Haha! Brother Lei's archery skills are outstanding, and your arrow has made Fu Qu dare not make a mistake in the north for a hundred years. Li Yan laughed and praised.

"The general's words are serious, and the carving insect skills are not worth mentioning." Lei Ming put away the longbow in his hand and put it behind his back.

"Uncle, you're here." Li Yan looked at Ling Huqian, who was leading the Xiliang army behind him, and immediately greeted him.

"Yan'er, have the Huns and thieves all crossed the valley?" Ling Huqian looked at the valley in front of him and asked with a regretful expression.

"Yes, General Lei Ming injured Fuqu for a hundred years with an arrow, and Fuqu was wounded for a hundred years and led the Hun army through the valley, Yan'er was afraid that there was an ambush in the valley ahead, so he stopped the pursuit."

Li Yan looked at Ling Huqian in front of him, his uncle was covered with bloodstains, and the big knife in his hand was still dripping with blood.

"Yan'er, you did the right thing, now that the Hun army is retreating south, the whereabouts of the Hun army are unknown, it is indeed not appropriate to take the enemy lightly." Ling Huqian stroked his beard and nodded.

In this battle, the Huns died in the hands of the Xiliang army nearly 5,000 people, and the Xiliang army suffered more than 2,000 casualties.

Now there are less than 20,000 war horses in the entire Daliang, and thousands of war horses were plundered when the Lejun camp was broken by the Huns, and now these more than 4,000 war horses can make up for some of them.

"Yan'er, these Zhenbei troops under your command are really brave as tigers in this battle, and the Hun thieves you killed have no power to fight back, but it also makes my uncle envious!" Ling Huqian looked at the group of people behind Li Yan and couldn't help but sigh.

Ling Hu Qian saw Han Qian and Lei Ming with his own eyes, the kind of decisiveness and indomitable momentum in the battle with the Huns, Ling Hu Qian couldn't help but sigh If the Le Juan camp had such a fierce general, how could the Huns be so easy to kill under Jiuquan City.

"Uncle has won the award, just with his uncle's knife technique, Yan'er is ashamed of himself." Li Yan said modestly.

"Haha! When did Yan'er become so humble? Ling Huqian looked at Li Yan with a smile on his face and said loudly.

When Ling Hu Qian and Li Yan led the army back to Jiuquan City, a sergeant came to give an order, and Li Wei, the king of Liang, summoned the two, Li Yan turned around and ordered Han Qian, and then went to the Liang Wang's Mansion with Ling Hu Qian.

The Liangwang Mansion was very lively, and the civil and military officials of Daliang had already arrived.

"The last general will order Hu Qian and Li Yan to see King Liang!" As soon as Ling Huqian and Li Yan came in, they knelt on one knee towards Li Wei and clasped their fists and said in unison.

"Good. Get up. Li Wei said to the two with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, King Liang!"

"Lord Qiqi, this battle annihilated more than 5,000 Hun thieves, captured more than 4,000 horses, I Daliang casualties more than 2,000 people, the Huns have now fled back to Lejuan, the last general has ordered the scouts to investigate, it is estimated that there will be news in two days." Linghu Qian bowed down and said.

"Hum" the entire court, everyone whispered, the Huns finally retreated, and a stone pressed in everyone's hearts fell to the ground.

"Good, good! General Linghu has made a great contribution to my Daliang in this battle, and now the Huns and thieves have retreated, which is really gratifying. Li Wei was very happy when he heard that the Huns had retreated, and during this time the siege of the Xiongnu army and the families in the city made Li Wei upset for a while.

"King Qiyu Liang, the last general did not dare to be greedy for merit, thanks to the Zhenbei Army under the command of General Li Yan, who killed the Hun thieves all the way and fled all the way, General Li Yan should be the first to take the lead in this battle." Ling Huqian clenched his fists and said to Li Wei.

Above the court, Ling Hu Qian did not squint, and Li Yan was his nephew, and he was also outspoken.

"General Linghu, it is said that the Hun army will collapse at the first touch, why don't you continue the pursuit and let the thieves flee back to Lejuan?" Suo Xian on the side walked out, looked at Ling Hu Qian, and said in a weird manner.

As soon as Suo Xian's words came out, the court was like a vegetable market.

"Master Suo, you~" Ling Huqian looked at Suo Xian staring at him with an unkind face, and couldn't help but be angry.

"What? Is there something unseemly about General Linghu and the Hun thieves? Easily put the Hun thieves back into Lejuan. Suo Xian asked again with an unrelenting look.

"Master Suo, don't spew blood! The general is sitting upright, the Hun thieves cross the valley, how can the army easily pursue? If you fall into the ambush of the Hun thieves, can you Suo bear such a heavy responsibility? Ling Hu Qian pointed at Suo Xianqi's face flushed.

"Master Suo is serious, now that the Huns and thieves have retreated, why do you want to blame them all? General Linghu is also thinking about me for the sake of being cold, and Master Suo is too worried. Song Miao saw that Suo Xian and Ling Huqian were arguing, so he spoke.

"Huh! Suo Mou just had some doubts, why did Lord Song excuse General Linghu? Suo Xian arched his hand at Song Xuan, with an angry face.

"Everyone, Aiqing, don't quarrel, today I Daliang broke the Huns, the crisis in Jiuquan City has been solved, the next step should be to discuss how to recapture Lejuan, Lejuan is occupied by the Huns has always been my Daliang's henchmen, wait to find out why the Hun thieves withdrew and then make plans, you Aiqing go back first."

Li Wei looked at the dispute above the court, and felt helpless in his heart.

Li Yan walked out of the Liangwang Mansion, said goodbye to Linghu Qian, and walked towards his own mansion.

Li Yan can also see the current situation in the court, and try to listen to as much as possible on weekdays, and there is Song Miao in the court to shelter himself from the wind and rain, but there is a lot less trouble.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he saw a gorgeous carriage parked at the door, and Li Yan felt a strange feeling in his heart.

When Liu Laohan opened the door of the mansion, Li Yan asked Liu Laohan, "Uncle Liu, are there any guests at home?" ”

"Huh! Young boy, Miss Mingyue has come to the house and is in the lady's house. Liu Laohan replied with a smile.

"Oh!" Li Yan replied casually.

Here she comes? Li Yan felt apprehensive in his heart, he hadn't seen her for several years.

Since moving the capital from Dunhuang to Jiuquan, Li Yan has not seen Linghu Mingyue. This will hear that Linghu Mingyue is in the house, and he can't help but feel uneasy in his heart.

When Li Yan came to the backyard, he heard Linghu's voice, and bursts of laughter came from time to time.

"Mother, I'm back." As soon as Li Yan entered the house, he said to the Linghu clan.

"Young boy, you're back." Xin'er trotted over with a happy face.

"Yan'er, come on, come on, come quickly. The bright moon is coming. Linghu smiled and beckoned.

"Yue'er."

Li Yan looked at the girl in a white dress in front of her, her skin was better than snow, her face was like white jade, her eyes were like a clear spring, and her eyebrows were like ink paintings, which made people feel haunted by dreams.

Linghu Mingyue, Linghu Yi's pearl in the palm of his hand, Li Yan has been engaged with Linghu Mingyue since he was a child, the two grew up in Dunhuang, until Li Yan came to Jiuquan when he moved the capital a few years ago, and never saw her again, Li Yan looked at Linghu Mingyue in front of him, and couldn't help but be stunned.

"Brother Yan, you're back." The soft voice of the girl in front of her came.

"Childe, go and change the armor on your body." Xin'er covered her little nose and said with a look of disgust.

Li Yan looked at the armor on his body, there were still blackened blood stains in many places, and there was a fishy smell on his body.

"Yan'er, you don't change your clothes when you come in, go quickly." Linghu urged.

"Mother, the child knows his mistake, so let's go and change." Li Yan's face couldn't help but flush.

"Madam, Xin'er go get some hot water for your son." After Xin'er saw Li Yan go out, she followed out at the same time.

Half an hour later, Li Yan came out of the bathroom, and the whole person felt much more relaxed.

At this time, Li Yan changed into a white dress, looking at himself in the bronze mirror, Li Yan felt a little nervous in his heart.

When Li Yan walked into Linghu's house, Linghu and Linghu Mingyue were chatting with a smile on their faces.

After Li Yan entered the house, Linghu Qian looked for a reason to look at Xin'er, and the two went out together, leaving Li Yan and Linghu Mingyue in the house.

"Yue'er, are you okay all these years?" Li Yan looked at the beauty in front of him like jade, he hadn't seen her for a few years, and he felt a lot of life.

"Brother Yan, Yue'er is all right."

Linghu Mingyue looked at Li Yan in front of her, and tears kept pouring out of her eyes.

"Over the years, Yue'er has been thinking about Brother Yan all the time, Brother Yan, Yue'er misses you so much." Linghu Mingyue said and leaned on Li Yan's shoulder, crying and hugging Li Yan tightly.

"Yue'er, it's me who is not good. I haven't been back to Dunhuang to see you all these years, which makes you worried, and we will never be separated again in the future. Li Yan wiped Linghu Mingyue's tears, and then hugged Linghu Mingyue into his arms.

After a long time, Linghu Mingyue stopped crying in Li Yan's arms.

"Brother Yan, this is the jade pendant you gave to Yue'er when you were eight years old, Yue'er has been by her side all these years, whenever she thinks of you, Yue'er will take out this jade pendant, just like you are by Yue'er's side." Linghu Mingyue put the jade pendant in his hand in Li Yan's palm.

Li Yan looked at the jade pendant in his hand, which was given to him by his father Li Tan when he was five years old, and Li Tan had not yet been made the crown prince at that time.

"Yue'er, I'm sorry for you. Let you be wronged. ”

"Brother Yan, this is a talisman made by Yue'er herself, you are now on a journey all year round, Yue'er hopes that you can be safe."

"Yue'er, you're so nice." Li Yan looked at Yue'er in his arms, the whole person was stupid, and he couldn't help but kiss Linghu Mingyue.
