"Impossible!" Ling Yan lost his voice and shouted, "Did that person hear it wrong?" ”

"No......" Ling Renxiang seemed to be unbearable, lowered his head slightly, and didn't look at Ling Yan's gaze, "I asked him carefully, and he was very sure that General Kuai Yue had been killed." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Ling Yan was in a trance, and suddenly, he stood up with a "whoosh", frowned, and asked angrily: "Why did General Kuai Yue be executed!" What a crime he committed! ”

Ling Renxiang said softly: "The crime is poor defense of the city and secretly collaborating with the enemy army. ”

"How is that possible!" Ling Yan shouted in disbelief, "How could General Kuai Yue go to collaborate with the enemy!" ”

"Brother, don't be angry, you sit down first." Ling Renxiang said. After Ling Yan sat down again, he continued: "Brother, I asked him, Xenoshi has already been beheaded, and when I called Lu Tiecheng and asked him to release Xenodegree, Lu Tiecheng had already executed him...... He was afraid that I would blame him, so he said that Xenogen was locked up in a dungeon. ”

Ling Yan was even more shocked: "He...... He was ...... Already killed General Kuai? ”

Ling Renxiang nodded helplessly.

Ling Yan was completely stunned, he never expected that things would turn so bad.

"Brother," Ling Renxiang said with a melancholy expression, "Although I don't approve of us getting too close to these ancient people, I also know that you are very good to them, so I don't know...... What should I say to you about this......"

Ling Renxiang's words seemed to calm Ling Yan a lot, and he said sadly: "I just think they are upright, is this also wrong...... Am I guilty of being good to whomever I am good for...... General He Rong is like this, and General Kuai Yue is like this......"

Ling Renxiang didn't know what to say: "Brother, you did the right thing, it's just ......"

Ling Yan seemed to suddenly remember something, and without waiting for Ling Renxiang to finish speaking, he hurriedly said loudly: "If General Kuai Yue has already been killed, then I can't let General Kuai Liang suffer misfortune as well!" I can't kill both of them! ”

Ling Yan's emotions became more and more excited, and Ling Renxiang hurriedly said, "Brother, don't worry, I will find a way to save Zirou." ”

"That'...... Then let's send troops! Ling Yan hurriedly said, "Attack Jianhe City and save General Kuailiang!" ”

Although Ling Renxiang nodded, there was obvious hesitation and difficulty in his tone: "Brother, of course it is important to save Zirou, and since Yuan Shao has plans to attack my Dajie City, then we naturally can't sit still, not to mention that Zirou has already said in the secret letter, Yuan Shao is not unified internally, at this time, it should be the best time to send troops to attack, and it is reasonable to send troops." ”

Ling Yan hurriedly said, "Then let's leave immediately!" Brother, you can defend the city, I will lead the troops to attack Jianhe City! ”

Ling Renxiang hurriedly said: "Brother, if you want to attack the city, it is impossible for me not to go, there are quite a lot of good generals under Yuan Shao, brother, you go by yourself, I am not very relieved." ”

"Then let's go together! I'm sure I'll be able to capture Jianhe City! Ling Yan stood up again.

Ling Renxiang suddenly said: "Brother, let's wait for the edict of the emperor to come, and then we will decide." ”

"What...... Edict? Ling Yan was stunned.

Ling Renxiang motioned for Ling Yan to sit down, and then explained: "Brother, there is a quick horse newspaper this morning, saying that I have sent a messenger to come here to present the emperor's repair book, and it is estimated that it will arrive soon, so let's wait for the messenger first." ”

Ling Yan was puzzled: "Emperor Xian wrote a letter to his younger brother? What could that be? ”

Ling Renxiang shook his head: "I don't know about this, but this thousands of miles of book cultivation will definitely not be a trivial matter, otherwise, the emperor is so busy, how can he have the time to write to me." ”

Ling Yan was very anxious: "When will the edict arrive?" ”

Ling Renxiang replied: "The person who came to report said that the letter was written by the emperor seven days ago, and sent him to report first, he said that the messenger should have arrived soon, and it is estimated that he will be able to arrive in two or three hours." ”

Although Ling Yan was very anxious, the emperor's edict was the top priority after all, so Ling Yan had no choice but to say, "Okay, then wait for the edict to come first." ”

In the following time waiting for the edict, Ling Yan stayed in Ling Renxiang's room, restless. He also talked to Ling Renxiang from time to time about how brave he was in the battle of Kuai Yue, but Ling Renxiang didn't seem to have a lot of interest in it. Ling Yan understood that Ling Renxiang was not as anxious as him, because Ling Renxiang did not have a good impression of the ancient generals, or even the ancient generals, let alone have any brotherly feelings.

When Ling Yan realized this, he no longer told Ling Renxiang about the war, but fell into a deep thought-what he was thinking about was naturally about the past of the Kuai brothers.

I don't know how long it had been—it must have been a long time, for it was already dark, and at last a scout reported that the messenger had arrived at the city, and asked General Ling to meet him.

Ling Renxiang looked at Ling Yan, Ling Yan nodded, and the two of them walked out of the room.

The messenger sent by Emperor Xian had been waiting for Ling Renxiang at the gate of the city, and it was not until Ling Renxiang and Ling Yan came to him that he arched his hand arrogantly, and began to read the holy decree without even getting off his horse.

Ling Yan looked at the person who was dressed gorgeously and had an arrogant demeanor, and he had an indescribable feeling of disgust in his heart, but "when he saw the holy decree, it was like a face king", Ling Yan also had to bow to the messenger and obey the decree.

The messenger read it for a long time, and Ling Yan didn't listen very carefully, but he still knew the general idea: Emperor Xian named Ling Renxiang as a general of Yangwu, and sent him to attack the Yellow Turban Thieves in Nanyang and Yingchuan, with the side of Qingjun.

After reading the edict, Ling Renxiang thanked the emperor, and then asked the messenger to enter the city to wash the dust. Originally, Ling Renxiang wanted Ling Yan to come to the banquet together, but Ling Yan was not interested in it, not to mention that he was very tired of the messenger, so he politely declined the invitation and went back to the residence first, and Lu Gong also went back with him.

After washing his face, Ling Yan sat on the bed, and was about to take out the Moon Cutting Knife to cultivate his internal qi, but saw Lu Gong come in.

Ling Yan saw that Duke Lu had a sad face, and asked in surprise, "General Lu, is there something?" ”

Lu Gong hesitated for a moment: "General Yan...... Are we going to rescue General Kuai? ”

Ling Yan reluctantly laughed: "I will definitely go and save him...... Today, the emperor's messenger is coming, and General Ling is going to have a party, and I will discuss with him tomorrow. ”

Lu Gong hesitated and asked, "General Yan...... Later, General Ling was in the room, discussing with the general what to do? Why...... Why did the general's shouts come out? ”

Lower-level generals can't casually ask about the chief general or the lord's secret affairs, and Duke Lu also realized this, so he hurriedly added: "If the general discusses confidential matters, then the general can't intervene." ”

Ling Yan smiled bitterly: "It's nothing, it's just a little quarrelsome, it's okay." He didn't want to tell Lu Gong the news of Kuai Yue's murder, because until now, he didn't fully believe the fact that Kuai Yue was killed.

Gong Lu wanted to say something, but Ling Yan smiled: "General Lu, you are also tired for a day, go back and rest, it is still safe here at night." ”

Lu Gongdao: "General Yan doesn't have to say this, it is the responsibility of the last general to protect the general." ”

Ling Yan said, "If there is anything, I will call you...... Tomorrow, if the discussion is good, the troops will be dispatched immediately, and if the general does not rest well, I am afraid that it will be difficult to lead the troops on the march. ”

Hearing Ling Yan say this, Lu Gongcai hesitated to clench his fists and leave.

Ling Yan picked up the Moon Slashing Knife again, but he couldn't continue to cultivate, because his heart was full of Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang's affairs, and his mind couldn't calm down, which was a taboo in cultivation. He thought that Ling Renxiang would definitely have to entertain the messenger for one night, and the messenger would probably leave tomorrow, maybe Ling Renxiang would discuss the matter of sending troops in the morning, so it was better to go to bed early and get up early.

So Ling Yan turned off the lights and fell asleep for a long time......

Early the next morning, Ling Yan got up. As he thought, it didn't take long for a soldier to inform him that Ling Renxiang had come to him to discuss the matter.
