Wuyin in the first year of Longsheng, March 12, the city of Ji was broken, the Yong army burned the city, although the Ji guard will move the people to Anze, but the old and weak can not go innumerable, the Ji family has been killed and wounded, the king of Qi is famous for his murder, but carefully observes, and there is no slaughter of the city.

―― "Zizhi Tongjian-Yongji III"

Just at the last moment, a loud shout came, and a spear flew out from the wild grass on both sides of the road, which was hitting the middle of the horse lance, and the horse lance deviated from some directions, but still shot towards Su Qing, but this short time has made Ruyue move, she rolled off the horse with Su Qing in her arms, and fell into the dust, at this time, her mount seemed to be startled by the sound of wind and thunder, raised her hooves and got up, the horse lance penetrated the horse's body, the horse neighed, and fell to the ground, as soon as Ruyue fell under the horse, she rolled to the side with Su Qing, The heavy corpse of the war horse was only a fraction of a centimeter, and it was overwhelmed by Ruyue's side.

Almost at the same time, Duan Lingxiao sensed the endless killing opportunities surging from both sides of the road, he subconsciously jumped up, when his body jumped into the air, countless crossbow arrows shot at him, Duan Lingxiao took a hard breath of true qi, his body turned strangely in the air, and flew to the side, those flying crossbow arrows almost collided together, and at the same time, the war horse he grabbed also fell to the ground in neighing. Duan Lingxiao flew to the ground, and from the rocks and deep grass on both sides of the road, eighteen young soldiers wearing black riding clothes and soft armor jumped out, surrounding Duan Lingxiao, these young people all had horizontal swords and shields in their hands, almost all of them were twenty-five to thirty years old, all of them had a calm demeanor, the dust under their feet did not disperse, and their eyes were shining. There is also a person who is about twenty-eight or nineteen years old, with a simple appearance, but his eyes are cold and shining, and his murderous aura is hidden but not revealed. He also had a horizontal knife in his hand, holding a small stainless steel shield in his left hand, but at this moment the horizontal knife was not unsheathed, and there were two short spears stuck in his waist, and it was this person who saved Su Qing.

Duan Lingxiao sighed and said, "Who are you, how can you intercept me here?" ”

The young man at the head said loudly: "His Majesty Emperor Dayong, the deputy commander of the Tiger Guard, and the commander of the guards under the Marquis of Chu Xiang, Hu Yanshou, are waiting for Your Excellency here on the orders of the Marquis of Chu Township." ”

Duan Lingxiao's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said: "Is this Lord Jiang setting up a trick to lure me into an ambush, then he can't help but care for his subordinates too much, are you confident that you can stop me." ”

Hu Yanshou said in a loud voice: "Your Excellency doesn't need to sow discord, your Excellency is clever, knowing that if Your Excellency is still here, there is a chance that General Su will attack General Su, so I ordered us to follow secretly, when General Su was attacked, the police message had been sent back, so General Su sacrificed his life to run to the way he came, luring Your Excellency into a dead end, I have recently learned a set of knife formations, and I specially learned from Your Excellency." ”

Duan Lingxiao said lightly: "Chu Xianghou is really cautious enough, if I don't make a move, he is just a lot of things, if I make a move, he can find my traces, but his heart is also vicious enough, if Su Qing has no ability to escape, he will soon lose a powerful subordinate, Miss Su is such a talent, is it a pity to be sacrificed by him?" And he sent people to set up an ambush, but he didn't let his henchman Li Shun come, and only let you come to die, is such a ruthless, greedy and afraid of death worthy of your life? ”

Hu Yanshou's eyes flashed with anger, and he said coldly: "How can the adults of my family not be evaluated by Your Excellency, they are ruthless, they are the true colors of a good man, if they say that adults are greedy for life and afraid of death, they will not talk about it in front of the master of Fengyi Gate in the past, not to mention that Li Ye is an adult's close attendant, so he doesn't have to go into battle to kill the enemy, and my martial arts have been instructed by Li Ye, so please advise you?" ”

With his words, those Tiger Guards each took a step forward, and the momentum of the suddenly shrinking formation suddenly rose, but in the eyes of Duan Lingxiao, who was quite a Qimen Dunjia formation, there were faint flaws, and he couldn't help but bask slightly, at this time, Hu Yanshou had already pulled out the horizontal knife, and the shield stepped forward, just after he entered the formation, this sword formation became strict, and all the flaws had disappeared. Duan Lingxiao was shocked in his heart, he originally thought that this sword array was a sword formation formed by the merger of the positive and negative nine palaces, but he didn't expect that the real number of people was nineteen, the original plausibility made him, a person who knew some formations, despise in his heart, and after Hu Yanshou entered the formation, the net of heaven and earth had been formed, this kind of sudden blow was enough to frustrate the morale of the person who was trapped in the formation, if the person who set up the formation was coming for himself, then his mind would be too terrifying. Duan Lingxiao finally couldn't help it, and before the sword formation was launched, he asked, "Who gave this sword formation, and General Huyan finally entered the formation, but it has always been like this?" ”

Hu Yanshou was slightly stunned, the words that were going to order the fight were also blocked, and he said in his heart, even if you want to delay time, it doesn't matter, at this moment, when more than 100 iron horsemen are rushing here, when they arrive, you are three heads and six arms, and you can't escape, so Hu Yanshou replied: "The formation is taught by Lord Jiang, and the knife technique is passed down by Li Ye himself, originally to protect the safety of adults, and it is also a good thing to use it to eliminate adultery today." ”

Duan Lingxiao smiled slightly when he heard this, he had used the Demon Sect's secret method to detect that there were two armies within a radius of several miles coming from different directions, the enemy situation was clear, and he could escape now, but this sword formation could not be penetrated in a short time, the most likely thing was that he killed most of the Tiger Guards, but he was trapped by the Yong army, and he was in a dilemma of life and death, but fortunately, he already had a plan to get out.

Duan Lingxiao laughed loudly in the sword formation, and stood up with his hands in his hands and said: "Strange, strange, Duan heard that Fengyimen is a traitor to Dayong, and everyone can be punished, but I didn't expect that now I will see the disciples of Fengyimen serving in the army, Miss Su Qingsu, you are the descendant disciple of Fengyi Sect Master Fan Huiyao, it's not right, everyone has a name and a surname in Fengyi Sect's descendant disciples, but I haven't heard of someone surnamed Su, but this kind of martial arts of the girl can be regarded as a leader among the second and third generations of Fengyimen's disciples, I don't know who Miss Su is taught by?" ”

His words were like thunder, even those iron-hearted Yongjun warriors couldn't help but look at Su Qing in shock, and Su Qing's already pale face that had been lifted up by the maid was also shocked by these words, and Zhou's body showed an extremely desperate aura, even the most ignorant people understood that Duan Lingxiao had said the most unspeakable secret in Su Qing's heart, and at the moment when the aura was stagnant, Duan Lingxiao had already caught a trace of the gap in the knife array, and everyone was caught off guard, and flew out, his body turned into a rainbow, and disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye, his cold voice came from the wind: "Su Qing, the origin of your martial arts has been leaked, I want to see how you stay in the Yongjun." ”

There was silence in the field, and countless eyes fell on Su Qing, she stood proudly, as if she was as iron-clad as a snow plum in winter, but her expression was extremely sad and sad, it can be seen that what Duan Lingxiao said was not to sow discord, she was really a disciple of Fengyi Sect.

Fengyimen, the name that used to be illustrious, but now it is avoidable, is still deeply rooted in everyone's hearts. Once controlled the government and the opposition for many years, the power of the world, but because of the rebellion and the wind and clouds, Fengyimen's former disciples in addition to those who fled without a trace, most of the rest have become victims of the struggle for imperial power, some are not allowed by their parents and husbands, forced to leave home, and even the green lantern ancient Buddha chatted about the remnants of his life, and some were blessed by their families, but since then they have been depressed, it is difficult to see the former glory, and the army is trying their best to eliminate the influence of Fengyimen, once they are related to Fengyimen, even if they don't die, they don't want to stay in the army. However, Su Qing, the dignified Dayong Si Wencao's chief outpost of the Beijun Si Beihan spy network, the general of Sanpin, and the heroine of the female middle school, turned out to be a disciple of Fengyimen, how could it not be jaw-dropping when it was passed out.

There were a few cavalrymen who had seen the scene of Fang Cai Su Qing and Duan Lingxiao fighting each other, Fang Cai Su Qing's sword was like a frenzy, gorgeous and magnificent, and sure enough, there was a shadow of Fengyimen's swordsmanship, but they had never had such an idea, so they didn't realize that Duan Lingxiao must know a lot about Fengyimen's martial arts, so he found out Su Qing's true teacher. Unconsciously, everyone surrounded Su Qing.

Ruyue looked at Su Qing, who looked indifferent, and suddenly said loudly: "You guys are too much, Miss has been dying for Dayong for many years, and she only escaped from the death of the Northern Han Dynasty not long ago, if it weren't for Miss fighting to the death today, how could Ling Xiao fall into an ambush, you would rather trust the words of an enemy than believe in a colleague who lives and dies together, what is the reason?" Speaking of which, she was already full of grief and indignation, hugging Su Qing and crying like rain. Everyone looked at each other, especially the Yongjun warriors who had just seen Su Qing's bloody battle Duan Lingxiao, and they were even more guilty.

Hu Yanshou coughed and asked, "General Su, is what that person said true, if he is falsely framing, please ask General Su to make it clear, and we will defend General Su." Everyone knows his intentions, as long as Su Qing says that it is not the truth, then he is willing to hide it, and everyone thinks so in their hearts, no matter what Su Qing's background is, they only need to know that this woman is the same as them and will not hesitate to sacrifice her life for Dayong, that is enough.

At this time, the smoke and dust were billowing in the distance, and the Dayong cavalry who came to support finally arrived, and when they came closer, they were shocked by the strange atmosphere, they automatically stopped their mounts, and looked at everyone inexplicably, the cold wind blew, surrounded by more than a thousand people, a woman in Tsing Yi stood there, her expression was as cold as frost, there was silence between heaven and earth, except for the sound of the wind and the occasional horse exhaling hot air and neighing, there was no other sound.

Su Qing broke away from Ruyue's support, walked a few steps forward, walked in front of Hu Yanshou, smiled slightly, that smile was as bright as a ray of sunshine in winter, but it was also like a flash in the pan desolation, she said word by word, her voice was like a golden stone, and she said loudly: "Duan Lingxiao is not framed, my Su Qing's mentor is the first disciple of Fengyi Sect Wen Shi Ziyan, although Su Qing is just a registered disciple of his teacher, but the teacher's kindness is deep, Su Qing still admires in his heart, although he is forced by the situation, he dare not speak out, but I, Su Qing, have never forgotten my teacher to save my life, Spread the deep friendship of my swordsmanship. However, I, Su Qing, have never forgotten that I am the general of Dayong, and I think that I have never done anything sorry for the court robes, and today the matter has been leaked, after all, it is difficult to hide from the eyes and ears of the world, Su Qing is here, how do you deal with it, let it be respected, but although Ruyue is my maid, I don't know about it, and no one knows the origin of my Su Qing, and I ask you to testify and clear their innocence. Just after saying this, Su Qing only felt dizzy, internal injuries and disheartenedness, so that she could no longer be able to support, there was a cry like the moon in her ears, Su Qing only felt that her soft body fell into a warm embrace, she sighed softly, it's okay, her fate will be decided by God, Su Qing fell into the deepest coma after giving up completely.

It's so warm, Su Qing seems to be having an endless dream, as if she has returned to the old life of a protected, wanton and frivolous daughter, in the haze, it seems that she was lying in her mother's arms when she was a child, listening to her mother singing nursery rhymes in a low voice, letting herself fall into a deep sleep willingly, unconsciously, a crystal teardrop slipped from the corner of her eye, the happy life that can never be found again, and the parents and relatives who can never be seen again.

Opening his eyes dimly, Su Qing once again felt the existence of life, he had been exhausted in the Northern Han Dynasty for many years, even in his sleep, he was always on guard against the warning signs around him, and after returning to Dayong, the burden in his heart still existed, so Su Qing had not slept soundly like this for a long time. She sat up, and found herself lying on a warm, comfortable couch, with a low curtain and the smell of incense in the air. Su Qing ripped off the quilt, only to see that she was wearing a white middle coat, and it seemed to be a change of clothes that she was carrying, she opened the curtain and found that there were wooden walls all around, the ground shook gently, and there were no windows, but the air in the room was not dirty, this must be the cabin of the ship. Looking around, I saw that there was not much makeup in the room, but there were all kinds of tables, chairs and bookshelves, incense burners at the head of the bed, and calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, which looked very fresh and elegant. Su Qing was shocked in her heart, even if she woke up and found herself in prison, she would not be so surprised, but she was extremely surprised to receive such preferential treatment on the battlefield.

She saw a set of cyan military uniforms and soft armor on a chair next to her, all of which were her own clothes, but they had been cleaned and sewn, she put on her clothes, put on her combat boots, and placed her own weapons and hidden weapons on the bookcase, she also put them away one by one, it seemed that she had not been relieved of her military duties, Su Qing's heart was slightly relieved. After tidying up his clothes, Su Qing suddenly felt hungry in his stomach, and he didn't know how long he hadn't eaten, just looking at his internal injuries, he knew that it was at least two or three days. She was about to push open the door, the hatch was opened from the outside, Ruyue walked in with a faint sad face, and when she saw Su Qing, she pounced over with joy, hugged Su Qing's body and cried. Su Qing's heart warmed, and she didn't push her away, and said, "Silly girl, my clothes are wet from your crying." Ruyue hurriedly let go of her hand, and said while wiping her tears: "Lord Prison said that Miss is about to wake up, let me take a look, and say that if Miss wakes up, please go to the front hall for dinner." ”

Su Qing was shocked in her heart, her expression was a little pale, some things couldn't be avoided after all, she forced a smile and said, "Yes, I've been in a coma for a few days, why are I so hungry." Ruyue said: "On that day, Miss was injured and unconscious, General Huyan took Miss back to the ship, and after the Lord of the Prison Army checked the pulse, he said that Miss was not seriously injured, but she was a little too tired, and she was hit by the heart, so she was unconscious." The adult said to let the young lady rest for a few days, so he added sleeping medicine to the wound medicine, and now it is the fourth day, in addition to taking medicine, the young lady is taking ginseng soup these days, no wonder she is so hungry. ”

Su Qing hesitated for a moment and asked, "Ruyue, does Lord Overseer already know about that matter?" ”

Ruyue peeked at Su Qing's face and said, "Lord Prison issued a gag order, not to leak the events of the day, and then leave the young lady on the boat to recuperate, and I don't know anything else." ”

Su Qing was uneasy in his heart, and said, "Take me to see Master Jiang." ”

Walking into Jiang Zhe's cabin, Su Qing was almost immediately attracted by the sumptuous dishes on the table, at this time, even her future and fate could not overcome the temptation of food, she almost used all her strength to restrain the urge to pick up chopsticks immediately. But one of Jiang Zhe's movements made her completely out of control, Jiang Zhe pointed his finger to the table, which was a clear action, Su Qing almost didn't even say hello to the table, and began to feast, until she was full, she returned to normal thinking. Thinking of Fang Cai's gaffe, Su Qing's face turned red, and he got up and said, "The last general is rude, please forgive me." ”

I have been watching Su Qing's actions, speaking of which this woman deserves to be from a famous family, although she devoured it, she still maintained her basic demeanor, but her movements were faster, but I could understand her mood, hunger and relaxation of mood would make people uncontrollable, if she was in the hands of the enemy, she would never be so relaxed, it can be seen that she really regards me as a boss who can be trusted and relied on, so she will be so relaxed, at least, she is not hostile to me. The hesitation in my heart in the past few days suddenly disappeared, and I finally made a decision on how to deal with Su Qing.

I exchanged glances with Xiao Shunzi, who was standing at the table and had been helping to cloth the dishes, and actually protected me closely, and asked Su Qingdao: "General Su, I don't know if you can tell me in detail about the matter of Lingshi?" ”

Su Qing knew that his future life and death honor and disgrace were at this moment, and he didn't dare to slack off at all, and said: "After the last general broke up with Duan Wushu seven years ago, because he was sad and indignant in his heart, he escaped into the mountains, and he didn't know how long he walked before he passed out. After the first master asked me about my life experience, he was also very sympathetic, and when he saw that the last general had learned martial arts when he was young, he intended to take in the last general's apprentice. However, after the last general asked the first teacher, he knew that the disciples of Fengyi Sect needed to obey the orders of the master of the sect, and it was impossible for them to kill the enemy in the army. After the master knew Su Qing's intentions, he appreciated it very much, and deliberately stayed for ten more days to teach Su Qing's swordsmanship and martial arts, but in order to avoid being known about this, the master saw that the mental method learned by the last general was Taoist authentic, so he did not teach Su Qing the internal skills of Fengyimen, and the swordsmanship taught was also the killing move of the master himself. Later, after Su Qing practiced swordsmanship, he became famous in the Central Plains, and joined the Yongjun more successfully, and the contact between the last general and the ancestor was even more secretive, except for meeting once a year in the cave where my master and apprentice met, they never met again. The first teacher said that she was favored by her master, and she had to never abandon her master regardless of life or death, blessing or misfortune, and the disciple had just learned some superficial sword moves, and she didn't want her disciple to get caught up in a power struggle. Therefore, no one in the Fengyi Sect knows about the last general and the first teacher. Before the change of the first master hunting palace, she had left her swordsmanship experience and a suicide note to the last general in the cave, saying that she would follow the master for the great rebellion, if it was a success, if it was a failure, let the last general not hold a grudge against the person who killed her, she was willing to die for the master. At the end, Su Qing was already in tears, she got up and bowed down: "My lord, although the ancestor has made a big rebellious move, but please read the ancestor is really tired of being foolish and filial, and allow Su Qing to go and worship the master." ”

I listened to what Su Qing said, I only felt sad in my heart, and said: "Although the commander did the wrong thing, but even the emperor also said that she marched and fought in secret with the art of war, and her temperament was even more fierce. The bloody hand Rakshasa is indeed the most proud and outstanding disciple of the Fengyi Sect Master, and now from your mouth, I know the past, Wen Nuxia is still a strange woman who knows right from wrong, but it is a pity that she was trapped by loyalty and filial piety, resulting in the death of her reputation, General Su, the emperor also admired Wen Nuxia that day, so let people bury it secretly in Lishan, if you go to the imperial capital in the future, I will send someone to lead you to worship. ”

A look of gratitude flashed in Su Qing's eyes, and he kowtowed respectfully a few times. At this time, Xiao Shunzi suddenly said coldly: "Don't you hold a grudge against me? ”

Su Qing glanced at Xiao Shunzi and said lightly: "The ancestor seeks benevolence, what is the complaint?" ”

Xiao Shunzi looked at me and was silent, I knew that he had agreed with my decision, so he said: "General Su, although I have given a ban on your affairs, there is no impermeable wall, so I will secretly play the emperor, but the emperor is magnanimous, General Su is loyal to the imperial court, meritorious society, the emperor will not blame, so far in the future arrangements, I am not sure how the emperor will deal with it, but General Su, please rest assured, you can at least see the fall of the Northern Han Dynasty." ”

Su Qing was overjoyed, and said again: "The only wish in Su Qing's heart is to watch the Northern Han Dynasty perish, and to be able to fulfill this wish, that is, the emperor will sentence me to a serious crime, and Su Qing will also die without complaint, please allow Su Qing to return to the battlefield and serve Dayong." ”

I stretched out my hand and said, "I will explain to King Qi that he will not object to this matter, General Su can leave after another day's rest, and now General Su is very much needed outside to be in charge of scouting military aircraft." ”

Su Qing got up and said, "Thank you Lord Prison for your kindness, Su Qing has fully recovered, and he can go into battle now, I don't know what the military situation is outside?" ”

I smiled and said: "Yesterday our army has captured the Ji clan, the Ji clan guard will withdraw the civilians to Anze in advance, he fled overnight after holding the city for a day, our army burned the Ji clan, so far the flame has not been extinguished, His Royal Highness the King of Qi led the army straight into Anze, and the navy is also heading towards Anze, but a few days ago, the navy was heavily damaged, and the follow-up baggage can only be transported two days later. ”

Su Qing said: "An Ze is Duan Invincible personally guarded, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to capture, if the last general sends someone to spread rumors, it will be said that Duan Invincible framed Quartz for the crime, there are different opinions, Duan Invincible must be difficult to distinguish, what do you think?" ”

I clapped my hands and smiled: "It's exactly what I want, even if General Su doesn't wake up today, I will also pass the order to go down like this, in addition to Duan Invincible's lineage, the Anze garrison also has many old quartz troops, if you can jump Anze civil strife, then our army can easily capture Anze." ”

Su Qing said cautiously: "My lord, although Duan Invincible has no outstanding achievements in battle, but it is difficult to start, although today he uses a plan to divide his military heart, please tell His Royal Highness King Qi not to despise the defenders of Anze." ”

I nodded and said: "You are right, if it weren't for that, Duan Invincible would not have become Long Tingfei's most relied on left and right arm, if it is said that the ghost-faced general Tan Ji is Long Tingfei's spear, and the iron-walled general Duan Invincible is Long Tingfei's shield, now that the spear has been destroyed and the shield has been injured, I want to see how Long Tingfei commands the battle." ”

A trace of lament flashed in Su Qing's heart unexpectedly, how would Duan Wushu deal with the pressure of Taishan, I want to destroy the Northern Han, you have to protect the Northern Han, I don't know which of you and I can fulfill my wish, but Su Qing knows in her heart that no matter who can fulfill her long-cherished wish, there is no room for turning around between her and Duan Wuving.
