Chapter 31: A Heart of Ice
In recent months, the Rong and the Xiongnu had a fierce battle on the grassland, the Rong tribe was defeated in a large area, and the land north of the royal court was occupied by the Xiongnu, losing tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, horses, and reserves of winter grain. The Rong people had no cattle and sheep, no food, and could not survive the winter, so they took risks before the heavy snow closed the mountain, and sent troops to the Yan country, hoping to snatch the food for the winter.
Before the start of the war, Lin Feng was worried, worried that the Rong soldiers were too strong to stop their edge, and now they only need to defend the Black Flag Pass without fighting, and when the heavy snow covers the mountain, the Rong people will have no food in the army, and they will definitely retreat without a fight.
However, what annoyed him was that the Rong people were too arrogant and regarded Yan Guo as their own granary, but after thinking about it carefully, he was ashamed to say no more. The Rong tribe was defeated, and they were able to gather 300,000 cavalry, which shows how strong the strength was half a year ago, fortunately, they did not raise troops to the south at that time, otherwise, the Yan Kingdom would definitely be finished.
"What do you want?" After reading the excerpt, it was difficult for Murong Mengfei to continue to remain calm, and her heart was up and down, and she didn't know what to do.
Between the Rong and the Xiongnu, the war has never stopped for grassland and water sources. In June, when I left the tribe, there was a drought on the grassland, and many pastures near the royal court were starved, and many cattle and sheep starved to death.
At this time, the Xiongnu were at war with the Rong people, and they must have fought for grassland and water, and at the same time, most of them learned that Zuoxian's royal department was destroyed by the Yan people, so they took advantage of the fire to rob and fall into the well.
Thinking of the people in dire straits, relatives killed, cattle and sheep taken away, lost territory, and displaced. Murong Mengfei looked at Lin Feng's gaze, and gradually became full of hatred, it was him, if it weren't for him, leading the troops to attack Zuoxian's royal department, the strength of the Rong clan would not plummet, and the Huns, how could they take advantage of the fire to rob, and the clansmen would not fall into a situation of dire misery and lack of food.
She never considered that the strength of the Xiongnu itself far surpassed that of the Rong people, and they were enemies of each other, and in order to survive, it was normal for the two sides to compete for water. It's a pity that she was blinded by hatred, got up and slapped Lin Feng in the face, and said angrily: "Lin Feng, it's you, it's you who hurt my people, I killed you." With that, his fist smashed into Lin Feng.
At first, Lin Feng only wanted Murong Mengfei to know her current situation and give up the idea of returning to the north, but he was thrown a big mouth, and then looked at Murong Mengfei's hysterical appearance, and hurriedly grabbed the crazy woman's pink fist.
"The defeat of the Rong clan has nothing to do with me, right now, your people threaten my city-state, have you figured it out." Lin Feng's tone was not good, and he was angry: "Since you said that I harmed your people, okay, I will take you north, so that you can see with your own eyes how your people are frozen to death in the ice and snow." ”
Good men don't fight with women, but they have a big mouth for some reason, how can Lin Feng not be angry, fortunately, no one will see it, otherwise the old face will be lost.
Murong Mengfei was angrily reprimanded, gradually calmed down, realized that Lin Feng was wrong, raised his head, and saw that his attitude was cold, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked, seeing Lin Feng pressing step by step, he didn't have to be frightened in his heart. She didn't want to see her clansmen, frozen to death in the ice and snow, and didn't want to see a river of blood, but Lin Feng didn't hesitate, her anger did not subside, she stepped forward to carry her delicate body, put it on her shoulder, and strode towards the outside of the palace.
"Dog Emperor, let me go, tyrant, Dog Emperor." What Murong Mengfei was worried about was happening, struggling, scolding.
Lin Feng slapped Murong Mengfei on the arm with a palm, and said coldly: "Scream, scream, scream again, you will annoy me, and you will bear the consequences." ”
For a long time, Murong Mengfei was forced to die in front of Lin Feng, but Lin Feng never took action, today, Lin Feng was slapped by her, and he was angry, considering that he had offended the emperor's power, he didn't dare to continue to be presumptuous in front of Lin Feng, let alone take life as a child's play.
When carrying Murong Mengfei to the palace gate, two shadows stood in the cold wind, looking at Lin Feng from afar.
The queen, it's the queen, and Zhao Ziyan, Lin Feng was very surprised, he never thought that the queen would appear.
The news of the Rong army's pressure on the border has spread all over the capital and outside, and the queen is in the deep palace, and she gets the news in the words of the eunuch and the palace maid. Zhao Ziyan learned that Lin Feng had come to Yushu Garden, and he also hurried back outside.
Seeing the blood-red handprint on Lin Feng's face, Zhao Ziyan quickly ran back to the dormitory, with hot water in his hand, and ran out quickly, silently took out a handkerchief from his arms, and regardless of the queen being on the side, wet the handkerchief, and stepped forward to put it on Lin Feng's face.
Whispered: "Why are you so careless, does it hurt, it's all swollen?" ”
"It doesn't hurt! But you, your hands will be cold. Lin Feng smirked.
"Not afraid, you're going to the front?"
"Well, wait until you get back!"
"Yan'er, accompany you!"
"Stay, I don't want you to get hurt in any way! Got it? ”
"Well, it's cold outside, be careful, take care of yourself!" Zhao Ziyan gently sorted out Lin Feng's clothes, took off the fox fur, wrapped it around his neck, and hugged him with tears.
Anyone can see that the two of them are short-spoken, but they are full of affection, and they can't do it if they are not unusually close people.
The queen saw all this in her eyes, and she could see that Lin Feng doted on this girl very much, and this girl also had strange feelings for Lin Feng.
In the past few days, she has been in a panic all day long, she is not worried about the Rong clan breaking through the city, but she is worried about Lin Feng's situation. It is rumored that Lin Feng is mediocre and immoral and ignores the government.
After a few short contacts with Lin Feng, she was sure in her heart that the emperor was by no means incompetent and immoral, on the contrary, he had ideas, ability, and daring to act. For months, the two had not seen each other, and she always remembered Lin Feng's voice and smile in her heart.
Yesterday, the personal palace maid told her that the emperor brought the troops back to Beijing, and she was overjoyed, Lin Feng really didn't come to Hu, these days, he must be training somewhere.
However, what disappointed her was that she thought that when Lin Feng returned to the palace, he would come to find her, and let people prepare meals and wait for the night, but Lin Feng never appeared. Today, I learned that the emperor was going to lead the troops north, and early in the morning, she came to the gate of the palace, waiting for Lin Feng to appear.
But the scene in front of her made her wonder if her efforts were worth it?
Seeing the queen standing in the cold wind, like a plum blossom blooming, Lin Feng was full of apologies in his heart, put down Murong Mengfei, and walked up slowly, but he didn't know what to say or what to say.
He was ashamed of the queen and let the queen be alone in the deep palace, and he never cared about the queen for half a year.
stepped forward, rubbed his hands, held the queen's cold plain hand, put it in the shirt on his chest, and called softly: "Xue'er!" ”
"Xianggong!" The queen responded very obediently, leaning on Lin Feng's chest.
Don't have gloom and hatred, at this time, silence is better than sound, Lin Feng hugged the queen tightly, and the faint fragrance entered his nose. After a long time, he let go of her, picked up the queen's cheek, and kissed her on the forehead: "Xue'er, it's cold outside, go back to the palace quickly, solve the crisis of the Black Flag Pass, and I will accompany you well." ”
"I don't, it's colder to stay in the palace, cold people are afraid!" The queen stretched out her arms and hugged Lin Feng head-on, a pair of red crisp hands clasped together, as if she was afraid that Lin Feng would break free and escape, thinking of Lin Feng's tenderness for Zhao Ziyan, she couldn't help but be a little jealous, and sighed secretly, she must save Lin Feng's heart. "Xianggong, I will go to the border with you." ”
Thinking about it day and night, the queen found that Lin Feng had a little voice and smile, which surrounded her mind all day long, Lin Feng didn't take the initiative to look for her, so she wrapped her face around Lin Feng. After all, the two are already husband and wife, and it is better to stay by his side than to miss through thousands of mountains and rivers.
"Uh, Xue'er, I'm going to fight, the victory or defeat is unpredictable, if I can't stop the Rong people's soldiers, the day I break through the barrier will be my death, you go to the front line with me, it's too dangerous." Lin Feng hurriedly stopped it, although there was a good strategy in this battle, he was not completely sure of winning, how could Lin Feng dare to take the queen to take the risk.
"I know, I know, but so what, if the prime minister can't stop the edge of the Rong army, the country will be destroyed, and the concubines will not live alone in the world, if the prime minister blocks the Rong people, who can threaten the safety of the concubines?" The queen hugged Lin Feng, her tone was hurried, and she said what she thought in one go, "Xianggong, you and I are not born to sleep and die in the same cave, and the concubine will not leave you, forever!" ”
Lin Feng asked himself how He De could let the queen say such warm words, hugged the queen and said: "Don't worry, I won't be defeated, not for the sake of the country, but also for you." The queen was ashamed and hurriedly got into the carriage.
instructed the maids around the queen to pack the queen's bags, but the queen naughtily stretched out her head, carrying the burden in her hand and shaking, obviously determined to follow him to the Black Flag Pass.
After arranging the queen, escorted by two thousand heavy armored infantry, Lin Feng went to the North Camp first. After setting a time for the expedition with Zhao Hongru, Lin Feng went to find Murong Mengfei again, and he didn't forget the hard slap before.
"Do you want to know why I brought you to the North Daying camp?" Walking into Murong Mengfei's residence, Lin Feng poured himself a cup of tea and drank it, and sat on the stool with an indifferent attitude.
In the barracks, the neighing of war horses, the sound of drills shook the sky, and the sound of shouting spread in all directions.
Murong Mengfei pretended to be calm, ignoring Lin Feng's existence, looking up and seeing Lin Feng's indifferent face, he let out a snort smile, he was suddenly startled, his heart was worried, and he hurriedly got up away from Lin Feng and stood at the gate of the camp.
"Lin Feng, if you dare to violate me and let me be a slave in the army, my father will know that he will break your body into ten thousand pieces." Lin Feng once said that if she didn't give in, he would send her to the army as a slave.
At this moment, in the barracks, Murong Mengfei couldn't help but feel a chill.
She is a dignified princess of the Rong tribe, with gorgeous golden flowers on the grassland, if she is humiliated in the Yan army camp, it is better to commit suicide directly at the beginning to preserve her innocence.
"You woman, your big mouth in the morning is so hard that even your own man dares to beat her, what do I want you to do." Lin Feng's eyes were not good, he jumped Erlang's legs, rubbed his cheeks that were slapped, and said gloomily: "Hmph, I will be afraid of your father, what about the 300,000 cavalry, I can surprise the Zuoxian Wang's department, eliminate more than 100,000 cavalry, and there is also a way, and then eliminate 300,000 cavalry, today, let you go north with me, is to let you see with your own eyes, how your people are going to death step by step!" ”
"Hmph, you --- you dare to ---"
