Chapter 388: A Three-Year Covenant
Leng Yi sneered: "I'm sorry, before I left the capital, I had already estimated that a large number of troops might need to be used, so I have already reported to Empress Hua Rui and asked her to secretly transfer Li Jilong to be the envoy of the Gyeongju Festival, and secretly transfer the 3,000 people of the guard horse army to Gyeongju." On the way, I have left the route of our whereabouts, and according to your route, I have predicted that you will definitely trade at this pass, so Li Jilong has already deployed his army in this area. Just waiting for my signal. ――How? Do you soldiers of a few hundred people want to fight against my three thousand iron cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty? ”
As if to cheer Leng Yi's words, countless Great Song cavalry rushed from the foot of the mountain on both sides and the official road behind, and the black pressure was overwhelming. The sound of horses' hooves shook the whole valley and so on.
Shi Baoji and the others suddenly changed color, glanced at each other, and said urgently: "Go back to Xixia first!" ”
Wang Chengyan hurriedly said: "Then what should I do with these things?" ”
"They're stuck here, and it's too late to transport them over! Where there is life, there is hope. Let's go back and talk about it! Over there is the territory of Western Xia, and they don't dare to come over. ”
The Western Xia general waved his hand: "Withdraw!" Withdraw it! ”
Leng Yi laughed: "It's too late!" Look back! ”
The Western Xia general, Shi Baoji and others hurriedly turned back, only to see that the Western Xia side was also dusty, and the sound of horses' hooves was deafening. Immediately afterwards, countless Great Song cavalry appeared at the pass!
Why did there also have cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty in the direction of Western Xia? Shi Baoji and the others' faces changed color. The Western Xia general was even more shocked and angry: "You, you invaded our Western Xia and tried to provoke a war?" ”
Leng Yi Yangtian snorted a haha: "Joke, your soldiers of Western Xia, where they are at the moment, is it your land in Western Xia?" ”
The general of Naxixia was speechless and said, "This ......"
At this time, a general on the hill not far away was holding a long knife, and it was Li Jilong, the commander of the former Ma Army's guard division. I saw him say in a loud voice: "Commander Leng!" We've arrived, and we're at your disposal! ”
"Excellent! General Lee has worked hard! Leng Yi smiled, turned to the Western Xia general, and said, "You have a chance to kneel down and surrender, otherwise, we will capture you and send you to the capital, and then let your Western Xia king personally come to collect people." How to do it, you hurry up and choose! ”
The general of the Western Xia looked at several of his subordinates, and then looked at the heavily surrounded cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty, if he really wanted to fight, he was afraid that these soldiers of the Western Xia would be wiped out, and the battle was carried out in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, no matter how it was said, it was difficult to explain how the soldiers of the Western Xia arrived in the Great Song Dynasty, at that time, not only would there be heavy casualties, but also it would make it difficult for the King of Western Xia to face the accusations of the Great Song Dynasty. It seems that I can only swallow my anger.
The Western Xia general threw the long sword in his hand on the ground and said to Leng Yi, "We surrender." The other Western Xia soldiers also threw down their weapons.
Leng Yi sneered: "Kneel!" ”
"What?" The Western Xia general said angrily, "No! ”
"If you can't do it, you'll die!" Leng Yi slowly raised his hand, ready to give the order to attack.
The Western Xia general's face was cloudy, and he finally let out a long sigh and fell to his knees. The other Western Xia soldiers also fell to their knees.
Shi Baoji's pale face said to Leng Yi: "Commander Leng, can it be seen on the face of the father at home......
"Don't mention your father!" Leng Yi shouted angrily, "Why didn't you mention him when you were going to kill me before?" You traitor! Come on, take down all the Great Song rebels! Resistant, slash! ”
With a wave of Li Longji's long knife, the Great Song cavalry rushed up, and some soldiers resisted stubbornly and were soon killed. Shi Baoji and the others' heads turned relatively fast. If you resist now, you will lose your head directly, it is better to surrender first, maybe go back, relying on the identity of the emperor's relatives and relatives, there is still a glimmer of life. So, Shi Baoji, Wei Xianxin, Wei Xianyong and Wang Chengyan all threw down their blades, knelt on the ground and surrendered, and were tied up by Wuhuada at the moment.
Leng Yi looked at the Western Xia general, now the Great Song Dynasty is fighting fiercely with the Liao State, he doesn't want to mess up the relationship between the two countries and make one more enemy because of this matter, so he said to the Western Xia general: "You write a letter of repentance in your own handwriting, explain the matter clearly, and then the official will deal with it." ”
Several generals of the Liao State smiled and said, "General, we also write a letter of repentance, right?" ”
Leng Yi sneered: "You are at war with us, and now you have invaded our Great Song Dynasty, it is no longer a letter of repentance that can be ended, this official wants to capture you as prisoners of war and return to the capital, and after the two countries cease fire and negotiate peace, they will be exchanged as prisoners of war." ”
Those Liao soldiers did not dare to resist, so they only knelt down and were tied.
Leng Yi said to Li Jilong again: "You immediately send someone to conduct a preliminary trial of Shi Baoji and the others to see if there are any inconsistencies in what they say, if you dare to hide it, just cut off your head!" You don't have to be polite to these rebellious ministers and thieves! ”
Li Jilong agreed, and ordered the interrogators of the military trial court to come over and take several people away for interrogation separately. He also found the four treasures of the scholar's room to write a confession to the generals of Western Xia and the soldiers of the Liao State. These people had no choice but to write down what happened.
During this period, Leng Yi asked Li Jilong to pull up all the carriages that had overturned on the official road, repair the wheels, and drive all the carriages back.
The generals of Western Xia and Liao saw Leng Yi like this, obviously preparing to confiscate everything. I wanted to raise an objection, but now that they still have room to speak, it's good to be able to save their lives. So I can only hang my head and dare not speak.
After they finished writing, they signed and signed. After Leng Yi glanced at each other, they could also match each other. The interrogation of Shi Baoji and their side have all been confessed, and when they took the confession to Leng Yi and read it, it can also match, obviously, Leng Yi's previous threat of directly cutting off his head if there is a contradiction has played a good deterrent effect, and these people dare not challenge Leng Yi's patience.
Leng Yi ordered to get out of the way and put all the Western Xia soldiers back, but all the weapons were confiscated. They could only empty their hands, and in the laughter of the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, they crossed the pass dejectedly and left on foot.
Leng Yi instructed the class teacher to return to the court. and asked Li Longji to send a team of forbidden cavalry to escort the rebellious Song army and the captured Liao army back to the capital along the way.
Xiao Zhouhou has been silently riding a horse and walking side by side with Leng Yi. After Leng Yi arranged these things, he found that Xiao Zhouhou didn't speak, so he asked her what was wrong. Xiao Zhouhou looked at him, smiled bitterly, and shook his head. Leng Yi saw that there were people on the left and right, so he didn't say much.
In the evening, they camped in a small mountain village. prepared a suite for Leng Yi and Xiao Zhouhou alone. After dinner, Leng Yi came to Xiao Zhouhou's room, and Xiao Zhouhou was sitting in front of the window in a daze. Seeing Leng Yi coming in, her pretty face was slightly red, and she got up to give a blessing. Nor do they speak.
Leng Yi closed the door and sat beside her, looking at her. Xiao Zhouhou smiled a little shyly and said, "What's wrong?" Look at me like this. ”
Leng Yi said in a low voice: "I want to ask, is it true what you said before you hit the rock and commit suicide during the day?" ”
Xiao Zhouhou was ashamed, lowered his head, and said after a while: "What are you asking ...... do with this?" ”
"You said that we will be husband and wife in the next life, but now we have not yet come to life, can we still be husband and wife?"
Hearing Leng Yi's straightforward question, Xiao Zhouhou even turned red behind his ears. The pink head twisted away.
Leng Yi scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "It's indeed a bit inappropriate for me to ask this at this time, but I really want to know what you really think." If what you said earlier, this life counts, I would have been prepared. ”
Xiao Zhouhou's delicate body trembled slightly, and after a while, he asked like a mosquito: "You ......, what preparations do you have to make?" ”
Leng Yi was overjoyed, leaned over and said, "So, you agreed?" ”
Xiao Zhouhou looked back at him in a bit of a panic, and his snow-white face had turned into a red pomegranate. Seeing his hot eyes, he quickly turned his head back, turned sideways to him, and only nodded hard and resolutely for a long time: "What I say ...... always counts...... Her voice was thinner than before, if it weren't for Leng Yi's great martial arts after crossing and his excellent ear power, she wouldn't have heard it at all.
Leng Yi was overjoyed and hugged her waist from behind.
Xiao Zhouhou trembled, his body was a little stiff, and he said with a sideways face: "You ......, what are you going to do?" ”
"I, I want to kiss you!" Leng Yi salivated and said with a smile on his face.
"No, no!" Xiao Zhou struggled, but couldn't get rid of Leng Yi's claws. Fortunately, Leng Yi just hugged her like this, and when there was no further movement, Xiao Zhou Houjiao gasped, and even her neck was red. trembling voice: "You, you will bully me......!" ”
Leng Yi hugged her tightly, put his cheek against her pink face, and said in a low voice: "I think so, do you think it's okay?" ”
Xiao Zhouhou was still struggling, but when he heard what he said, he didn't move, and he was as docile as a kitten. Listen with your ears pricked up.
Leng Yi said in a low voice: "I know, you have to keep filial piety for Li Yu for three years." So, I'll wait for you for three years, and when your filial piety period expires, I'll marry you, okay? ”
Xiao Zhouhou snuggled motionlessly in Leng Yi's arms, and after a while, she began to sobb softly.
Leng Yi turned her body over, looked at her, and said softly, "What's wrong?" Isn't it good? ”
Xiao Zhouhou's phoenix eyes burst into tears, her long eyelashes trembled, and tears fell down from time to time: "I am the ...... of the Queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, you ......, don't you care about ......?" ”
Leng Yi gently wiped away her tears and said, "I didn't know your identity now." If I cared, I wouldn't have asked you. ”
Xiao Zhouhou smiled reluctantly, raised his eyes to look at him, and there was a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth: "The official family ......, he ......, he will not let go of my ......, if you marry me, it will attract the jealous ...... of the official family, aren't you afraid......?" ”
"I'm afraid!" Leng Yi said seriously: "However, I will find a way." ”
"What's the solution?" Xiao Zhouhou's big phoenix eyes blinked and looked at him fixedly.
Leng Yi smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this, you just need to answer me, are you willing to marry me after three years of filial piety?" (To be continued.) )
