After Ling Yan said this, the three of them were silent for a while. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Then, Ling Yan said: "It's not early, Le'er, I'll go back." ”

Le'er nodded: "Oh." ”

Ling Yan saw that Le'er still looked like he was on his mind, so he smiled: "Le'er, don't worry, as long as General Ling is done, he will definitely come back to see you immediately." ”

Le'er smiled and nodded sensibly: "Well, I know, Brother Ling, don't worry about me, I'm fine." ”

Ling Yan nodded and stood up.

Cong'er also stood up.

Ling Yan saw that Le'er's expression was still a little lonely, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, so he said to Cong'er: "Cong'er, why don't you stay and accompany Le'er." The two of you are together, and you have a companion, and you won't be too alone. ”

"Okay!" When Le'er heard this, she immediately became happy, "It just so happens that I am here, and I am a little lonely." ”

Cong'er only hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

Ling Yan is relieved now, the two girls are together, they can chat no matter what they say, and they can take care of each other.

After saying goodbye to the two girls, Ling Yan walked out alone.

When he came to the market, Ling Yan faced the night breeze, thinking about his thoughts while strolling. It was nearly the night of the second watch, and the market was already empty, and it was pitch black. This kind of environment is the most suitable for thinking about things, so Ling Yan didn't feel too scared.

When he had walked most of the way, Ling Yan suddenly heard a faint sound of horses' hooves behind him, and the sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, clearly galloping towards him.

Ling Yan looked back and wondered: It's so late, why are there still people coming on horseback? Listening to the sound of the horse's hooves, it was as if the man had something urgent.

The sound of the horse's hooves was getting closer and closer, and Ling Yan couldn't help but feel a little scared in his heart: In the middle of the night, if he really encountered an enemy master, wouldn't it be very troublesome?

Thinking like this, Ling Yan hurriedly dodged and hid in the gap between the two bungalows next to the bazaar, and secretly looked towards the bazaar. Just waiting for the man to come over on horseback, Ling Yan will look good.

After a while, with the sound of horses' hooves that became clearer in the empty market, Ling Yan saw a man riding a horse and galloping over.

Seeing this, Ling Yan was even more suspicious in his heart: this person was not holding a torch or anything to illuminate, he was moving forward in the dark, but with the help of the faint moonlight, Ling Yan could barely see the silhouette of the person from the moment the person flashed, and from the distance he was familiar with the road and the direction he was driving in this night, he seemed to be a messenger or something else returning from outside the city.

Thinking so, Ling Yan hurriedly came out of the crack in the house, looked at the person's rapidly passing back, and thought: Before, Lu Tiecheng said that he sent someone to send a letter to Gao Ran, I don't know if it's true or not, but if that person is really sent by Gao Ran to reply to the letter, then I have to hurry back to the General's Mansion, otherwise wouldn't it delay the military situation?

Although Ling Yan was no longer the main general, his mind couldn't be put down for a while. He didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly walked towards the general's mansion.

Back at the General's Mansion, Ling Yan went straight back to his residence and asked the soldiers guarding the door directly, "Is there a messenger coming to me?" ”

The soldier replied, "General Hui Yan, no messenger has ever come to look for the general, but some time ago, General Kuai Liang came to look for the general several times. ”

"Oh," Ling Yan agreed, "Did General Kuai say that he came to me for something?" ”

The soldier said: "No, General Kuai came to see that the general was not there, so he went back." ”

Ling Yan said: "Then you go and see if General Kuai is asleep, if he sleeps, he will come back, if he doesn't sleep, tell him that I am back." ”

"Yes." The soldier agreed, and walked away.

Ling Yan pushed the door into the room, sat on the stool and took a sip of tea, thinking to himself: It turns out that the messenger on the horse is not a messenger, it seems that I have thought too much...... However, Ling Yan suddenly thought about it again: Alas, by the way, I am no longer the main general, even if it is a messenger, of course he will not come to me, he will definitely go to General Lu, alas, why do you care so much......

Thinking like this, Ling Yan suddenly felt a sense of relief all over his body: This is too guarded and what kind of main general, it doesn't matter, at least there is not so much pressure, and there is not so much responsibility, it is easy to be a small soldier, isn't it not bad!

Ling Yan thought about it and laughed.

After a while, I only heard a voice outside the door: "General Yan, General Kuai is here." ”

Ling Yan said: "Come in!" ”

I saw Kuai Liang walk in and bow his hand to Ling Yan, "General Yan." ”

Ling Yan nodded: "General Kuai, sit down." ”

Kuai Liang sat down and asked Ling Yan, "General Yan, did you leave the General's Mansion at night?" ”

Ling Yan said, "Well, I went to see Le'er. ”

"Oh, no wonder I've been here a few times, but I can't find General Yan." Kuailiang Road.

Ling Yan smiled: "General Kuai is looking for me, is there anything wrong?" ”

Kuai Liang said: "There are some things that need to be decided by the general, and the promotion and promotion of several generals must also be decided by the general, and there are ......."

Without waiting for Kuai Liang to finish speaking, Ling Yan waved his hand: "General Kuai, I am no longer your chief general, and there is no need for me to ask about these military affairs." ”

Kuai Liang was stunned for a moment: "General Yan, although this is the case, General Yan is still the actual commander. Actually, these things were asked by General Sun Shao to ask the general. ”

Ling Yan shook his head: "Don't ask me, I really don't care about these things anymore, I'm just an ordinary general now...... Maybe I'm not even a general now, I'm just a soldier. Ling Yan smiled bitterly.

Kuai Liang said: "General Yan is really serious, although General Lu demoted General Yan's official position, nominally he is not the chief general, but the essence has not changed, not to mention that the appointment of the general is General Ling's own mouth, this is not something that others can change at will." ”

Ling Yan said helplessly: "Although it was appointed by General Ling, General Ling is not here at this time, and General Lu has the right to decide our promotion and promotion...... Besides, the responsibility for this defeat lies with me, and no matter how much I become the main general, it will definitely be difficult to convince the public, and it is still not appropriate. ”

Kuai Liangluo frowned: "Why did the general say this?" The defeat of the army is by no means the fault of one person, not to mention that this dispatch of troops is not completely useless and cannot be wiped out together. ”

Ling Yan said: "Generally speaking, it is still too much to achieve, and the result is still defeat and return to the city." It is only natural that I have been removed from the post of commander. ”

Kuai Liang hesitated and said, "That...... What will happen in the future? ”

Ling Yan smiled and said, "As long as it's about military affairs or related, no matter what, just ask General Lu or General Sun, don't ask me, I'm just a general under General Ling's account in the future, nothing special." ”

Kuai Liang hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay...... In that case, if there is something in the future, I will not bother the general. ”

"Hmm." Ling Yan nodded and said with a smile, "But this is better, in the past, General Kuai may have had concerns that I am the main general, so my words and deeds are more restrained, but now that I am nothing, then we can be called brothers in the future." ”

Kuai Liang was a little frightened: "General Yan, this ...... How? ”

Ling Yan smiled: "Why not? Since I'm not too guarded, we will be colleagues in the future, and naturally we may become brothers! ”

Kuai Liang thought for a long time, but still didn't dare to agree: "Although the general is not the chief general for the time being, I think that he will definitely be reinstated soon after the future, and Liang will never dare to climb the general as a brother or colleague." ”

Ling Yan sighed, he knew that it would be impossible to be a real friend with Kuai Liang in a short period of time, and he suddenly found out that Kuai Liang and You Heng were both strategists, the difference was that You Heng was more emotional, while Kuai Liang was more rational.

But since Kuai Liang was confined to the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, Ling Yan was not reluctant, so he had to say, "Okay...... After that, if General Kuai has any matter, he can still come to me to discuss. ”

Kuai Liang nodded: "That's okay." ”

Ling Yan smiled helplessly.

Kuai Liang hesitated for a moment and asked, "General Yan...... There is one thing that is good, I don't know if it should be talked about or not. ”

Ling Yan said with a smile: "I'm not a chief general now, General Kuai doesn't have to be so restrained, just say anything." ”

Kuai Liang lowered his voice and said, "General Yan, General Yan should know about General He Rong's rescue before, right?" ”

Ling Yan nodded: "I know, I sent General You to save General He Rong." ”

Kuai Liang asked again: "General Yan, is this matter a secret agreement between the general and General Lu, or is the general doing it without authorization?" ”

Ling Yan smiled bitterly: "I did it without permission, and General Lu didn't know about it before." ”

Kuai Liang's eyes actually showed a look of deep worry: "General Yan, this matter ...... Is the general too ......"

"Too much?"

Kuai Liang hesitated for a moment: "Is it too ...... Got pushy? ”

Ling Yan nodded helplessly: "Well, it's a little inappropriate, but this is also a helpless way, if not, General He Rong will definitely be beheaded." ”

Kuai Liang said: "General, is it inappropriate to go against General Lu's intentions because of a demote?" ”

Ling Yan didn't answer Kuai Liang's question, but asked, "General Kuai, what do you think General Rong is like?" ”

Kuai Liang understood the intention of Ling Yan's question, and said, "I think He Rong is not as General Lu said. ”

Ling Yan smiled and said, "Since General Kuai also thinks so, then I'm even more sure that I haven't done anything wrong." General He Rong sincerely surrendered to us, but General Lu wanted to kill him, wouldn't this be a loss of one of our good generals in vain? ”

Kuai Liang said: "Having said that, General He Rong is a general after all, and General Yan is probably not worth it to do such an impulsive act for the sake of such a general." ”

Ling Yan waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter if it's worth it or not, I only know that He Rong is a very good general, and I must not let him be killed so inexplicably." ”

Kuai Liang said: "General Yan, although we feel that he is a good general, but General Lu does not think so, and people are unpredictable, who is General He, we don't fully understand, although General Lu's order, although it is a little excessive, but it is not completely unreasonable, and when the city was occupied that day, how could there be more than one person who killed the general?" ”

Ling Yan said: "I know that He Rong will definitely not have two hearts. It has nothing to do with me how many generals they killed before, but now I can't allow this to happen again...... When General He descended to me, I promised not to kill him, and if he was killed by General Lu now, who would surrender to us in the future? ”

Kuai Liang sighed: "Although what General Yan said is true, but after all, this is an order given by General Lu himself, and the general does this, I am afraid that General Lu is extremely dissatisfied in his heart, and he will think that General Yan and General He Rong have a private plot, and this kind of thing is the most intolerable thing for General Ling and General Lu." ”

Ling Yan said with a smile: "Hehe, this General Kuai doesn't have to worry, I really don't have any conspiracy with him, of course I'm not afraid of other people's suspicions, besides, I also explained to General Lu, although he was not very happy, but he didn't go into it." ”

Kuai Liang shook his head, his face solemn: "General Yan, I am afraid you don't understand General Lu's personality, the general is so rebellious, he will never be so relieved......"

Ling Yan remembered that You Heng's "disrespectful" words had somehow reached Lu Tiecheng's ears, and he couldn't help but be a little worried about whether Kuai Liang's words would also reach Lu Tiecheng's ears, although he was sure that there was no one else around here, he still hurriedly made a "shhhhhhhh

Kuai Liang understood what Ling Yan meant, and just said, "The general still needs to be careful. ”

Ling Yan nodded: "Thank you General Kuai for mentioning it, I will be careful." But anyway, I'm also General Ling's brother in name, even if someone wants to be unfavorable to me, he will consider this. ”

Kuai Liang still doesn't seem to be at ease: "This ......"

Ling Yan said with a smile: "General Kuai, don't worry, although I am not good at learning now, it is not so easy for ordinary people to get close to me." ”

Kuai Liang thought about it for a while before he nodded: "Since General Yan said so, Liang is relieved." ”

Ling Yan smiled: "Thank you, General Kuai." ”

"General Yan's words are serious," Kuai Liang looked outside, "General Yan, it's not too early, if there is nothing else, Liang will take his leave, and don't disturb General Yan's rest." ”

"Okay, General Kuai should rest early." Ling Yan said.

Kuai Liang withdrew.

Ling Yan got up and sat on the edge of the bed, his heart in turmoil.
