Chapter 18: Seeing Through the Conspiracy
The treatment of the wound is very long, and there is no painkiller, it hurts to look at, let alone the person concerned!
Yu Wenhao couldn't help but look sideways, only to see Xuanyuan Xue drenched in cold sweat, as if he was holding back his voice.
I don't know why, Yu Wenhao suddenly felt distressed, fighting was originally a man's business, but now he let women suffer this! "General, does it hurt?"
"Yu Wenhao, why are you so annoying? Don't think that helping General Ben heal your injuries will forgive you, it's not such a good thing. ”
This woman's mind, hey!
In addition to a bitter smile, Yu Wenhao still smiled bitterly!
Helian Mountains, a desolate mountain with no grass, here is not a traffic artery, there are few people on weekdays, and now the killing is loud, and you can see people and horses fighting everywhere.
On the mountain rock, a young girl looked nervously under the escort of several soldiers, and her eyes were more following the majestic figure of the brave enemy.
Xuanyuan Sword Hong's spear is like a snake like lightning, fast, accurate, and ruthless! The moves are simple and pure, stabbing, sweeping, and picking, but every blow must leave a corpse.
Tuoba Fire is also a rare fierce general, and the combat power that bursts out with the heart of death is even more extraordinary, the long sword is flying, blood is splashed in the sky, but all the Chinese soldiers who are close lie down one after another.
Even so, Tuoba Fire still couldn't change the fate of destruction! 5,000 cavalry, very few!
When Xuanyuan Jianhong picked and killed the last enemy soldier who stopped in front of him, the figure of the enemy general was unobstructed.
As the so-called enemies meet, they are very red-eyed!
Xuanyuan Sword roared violently, and the spear roared straight towards Tuoba Fire.
Tuoba Huo slashed down a Chinese soldier, suddenly felt a chill on the left side, and instinctively split horizontally to block.
Qiang!!
Sparks flew, and the spear blade rubbed against the blade of the sword.
Tuoba Huo's expression changed drastically, and he flashed in a hurry.
Xuanyuan Sword Hong's castration remained unchanged, and he changed his stab to sweep, and the spear smashed into the unprepared Tuoba Fire with a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
Bang!!
Tuoba Huo suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, and retreated again and again, blood spilling down the corners of his mouth.
"Who are you?" Tuoba Huo never imagined that someone was so strong, although he was only a partial general in Nansheng Kingdom, but he was born with few opponents, even Tuoba Jue couldn't do a blow to inflict heavy damage on himself.
"Xuanyuan Jianhong. Xuanyuan Sword Hong's spear was slanted, standing proudly between heaven and earth like a god of war.
"Xuanyuan Sword Hong!" Tuoba Huo thought lightly, his long sword was horizontal, and he said coldly: "There are few people who Tuoba Huo admires in his life, and you are the second person besides the general." ”
"Nonsense!" Xuanyuan's sword shot violently, and the spear stood up, stabbing away again.
Tuoba Huo's eyes were cold, he didn't dodge or dodge, and he faced him head-on.
The two figures, like two furious beasts, collided with each other, as if fighting for their lives.
The girl watching the battle was so frightened that her face was bloodless and she screamed loudly.
Burst!!!
The spear blade rubbed against the hard armor and pushed it towards the heart, and the long sword held high quickly fell.
In the flash of lightning, Xuanyuan Sword Hong suddenly let go and retreated, narrowly dodging the fatal blow.
"You... Not worthy of a warrior!"
Tuoba was furious, his legs fell to his knees, and his sword fell to the side like he lost control. He couldn't have imagined that the other party would run away and abandon his weapons, you must know that in the Nansheng Continent, it is a shame for a soldier to abandon his weapons before he was killed.
Of course, for the Xuanyuan clan, weapons have never been a symbol of glory.
Xuanyuan Sword Hong stared coldly at the Tuoba Fire of the spear body, and said disdainfully: "Curse the pen!"
This word comes from Ye Gucheng! But it is the best portrayal of this moment!
Xuanyuan Jianhong took two steps forward, put his hand on the spear, and pulled it out vigorously.
Tuoba Huo snorted and fell to the ground with a bang! At this point, the entire Nansheng cavalry was annihilated.
After the enemy is gone, the next step is to mourn the funeral of the fallen soldiers.
In the barracks, the fallen soldiers were piled up in piles for cremation, of course, the cavalry of the Nansheng Kingdom did not deserve this honor and were hastily buried.
The flames were everywhere, and all the soldiers looked sad.
A partial general looked at the raging fire, hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "General, there is something that my subordinates feel a little strange. ”
"What's the matter?" Although Xuanyuan Jianhong was asking, his eyes never left the fire, he wanted to remember this scene forever, and in the future, he would definitely make the enemy return a thousand times.
"The faces of the enemy soldiers killed in several camps have been damaged, and my subordinates have been thinking about it for a long time, and I don't know what the enemy means by doing this?"
"The Southern Barbarians are brutal by nature, and they must act differently, anyway, they are enemy troops, and they will be ruined. Xuanyuan Jianhong didn't care.
"However, my subordinates do not understand! According to common sense, the enemy army must pursue a rapid march within the territory of the kingdom, so why go to great lengths to destroy the face of the dead soldiers? Moreover, the Helian Mountains are not the main roads of the kingdom, but belong to remote areas, and the enemy army has a careful response, so there is no reason not to know that the mountains and rivers of the kingdom are being defended, whether it is to deal with other enemy forces or to take the opportunity to attack the hinterland of the kingdom, there is no reason to take this road. ”
Xuanyuan Jianhong frowned, and finally looked at the general. "Zhou Yao, you continue. ”
"The subordinates are worried that Nansheng Guo has other plans, and the destruction of the face is also to cover up something!"
Although Xuanyuan Jianhong did not have great wisdom, once some things were broken, he still quickly figured it out, his expression couldn't help but change, and he said in a condensed voice: "What do you mean, the enemy army is not completely annihilated?"
"The subordinates don't dare to jump to conclusions. ”
"Someone!"
"See General. Several soldiers stepped forward.
"Go! Dig up the corpses of the enemy soldiers and pick out the enemy soldiers whose faces are not badly damaged. ”
"Yes!" the soldier quickly left.
On the plain, dozens of enemy soldiers lay side by side, and the soldiers from the barracks here identified them one by one, and finally, someone recognized the Chinese soldiers wearing enemy armor.
"Damn! These Nanban are really treacherous. Xuanyuan Sword was angry.
"General, the kingdom is in danger, the Marquis of Xuanyuan took away a large number of guards in the royal capital, and now the royal capital is empty, and his subordinates are afraid that the enemy army intends to be in the royal capital. ”
"Quick, flying pigeon ace capital, in addition, notify the nearest military camp to send troops to protect the capital. "Xuanyuan Jianhong is really anxious now.
"General, the commander has an order, no troops are allowed to leave the camp without an edict, and his subordinates are afraid that the military camps in various places will not send troops, besides, this is just our guess, the target of the enemy army may not be the royal capital. It was another general who spoke.
"It's too late to sit down!" Xuanyuan Jianhong was anxious, and said loudly: "Order Xuanyuan Yong, stick to Panyu City, and the rest of the people will rush to the royal capital with this general non-stop." ”
"Yes!"
The royal capital.
"What?" Zhang Yi's face changed, and he hurriedly said, "The commander wants to order Xuanyuan Xue to attack the Northern Netherworld?"
"Xiangguo thinks it's impossible?"
"Commander, you should have heard the report of the Chancellor of the Exchequer! The kingdom is poor! The treasury is no longer able to support it, and according to the minister's opinion, the kingdom should first recuperate and then try to do so. ”
"Xiangguo thinks that how can the kingdom's money come the fastest?"
"Raise taxes. ”
"Wrong!" Ye Gucheng's light flashed, and he said slowly: "If Ben Shuai is not mistaken, the two places in the northeast, the family and even the temple, seem to have a lot of money! I believe that there are also many treasures in the palace!"
Zhang Yi was stunned and said in disbelief: "Commander, is it difficult to want... ”
"Not bad!" Ye Gucheng's mood suddenly became very good, and he said indifferently: "Rob!"
"Commander!" Zhang Yi suddenly became anxious, and said in a loud voice: "This move cannot be done, it will definitely cause criticism from the courtiers." ”
"Criticism?" Ye Gucheng smiled coldly. "Xiangguo is not confused! The two countries are at war, so why should the soldiers collect the spoils?"
"But the commander, the two northeastern regions will be incorporated into the kingdom in the future! If the kingdom behaves barbarously, the subjects are afraid that the people's hearts will be turbulent, which is not conducive to integration. ”
"Isn't this not included yet? Even if the families in the two northeast hate, they also hate the incompetence of their own rulers, and the success and defeat of the king have always remained the same, as for the temple, to recover the lost land in the northeast, the temple is the first to be destroyed. Ye Gucheng began to get impatient.
Zhang Yi smiled bitterly, but he didn't say much.
State affairs are cumbersome, and family affairs are not peaceful!
Since Li Yueli learned the truth, her attitude towards Ye Gucheng has been even colder to the extreme, and seeing each other is just etiquette, like a stranger!
Ye Gucheng witnessed this scene, helpless, more miserable! Now, the only thing that comforted him was that his children seemed to be unaffected, still growing up carefree, and of course, Li Yue'er could talk to him.
And in addition to often shuttling between Ye Gucheng and Li Yueli, Li Yue'er has one more task, that is, to take care of the dragon-shaped wood carving!
A normal beautiful girl, talking to a wood carving every day, looking at Ye Gucheng's eyes, there was a little more guilt in his heart, and he didn't know whether this white lie was right or not!
Ye Gucheng also thought about telling Li Yue'er the truth, but in the face of innocent eyes, he couldn't say it! Perhaps, he subconsciously hoped that the other party would live in fantasy, the truth was very cruel many times!
The repair work of the royal capital is almost coming to an end, the collapsed buildings are gradually restored, and the people's hearts are slowly stabilizing, but the bloodstains that fill the streets and alleys have always lingered, as if to remind people of the bloody chaos of the war!
In a simple house, Xuanyuan Jing lay quietly on the bed.
**In the battle of the door, he beheaded more than 30 people, and he was hit by more than 20 sword wounds, of which three were almost fatal, and now he can survive, it is a great luck! In a short time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get out of bed!
"See the Commander-in-Chief!"
Xuanyuan Jing heard the movement outside the door, his expression was overjoyed, and he struggled to get up.
Ye Gucheng saw this scene as soon as he stepped in, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Don't move, lie down." ”
Xuanyuan Jing obediently lay back, and said ashamedly: "My subordinates are incompetent, please forgive the commander!"
"No! Xuanyuan Jing, you have done a good job! Ben Shuai is very grateful for what you have done!"
"The commander doesn't have to be like this!
Ye Gucheng nodded with satisfaction, looked around, and sighed lightly: "Didn't Ben Shuai reward you with a house? Why don't you live there?"
Xuanyuan Jing smiled embarrassedly, and said slowly: "Xuanyuan Jing has no family except for his mother, and his mother is not used to living in a big house, and she is not used to being served, so she has been living in the old house, leaving only a few guards. ”
"This is Ben Shuai's negligence!It seems that it's time to find a lady for you!" Ye Gucheng sighed a lot.
"No!" Xuanyuan Jing's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "The kingdom cannot be completely peaceful for a day, and Xuanyuan Jing will not marry a wife for a day." ”
"Why is this?" Ye Gucheng was stunned.
"I lost my father when I was a child, and when I heard my mother say that my father died on the battlefield, I know very well the loneliness and helplessness of losing my father, and I don't want my children to repeat such a tragedy!"
Ye Gucheng couldn't help but glance at Xuanyuan Jing deeply, slowly retracted his gaze, and said softly: "Xuanyuan Jing, how long have you been with Ben Shuai?"
"Return to the commander-in-chief, one year and eight months!"
"Unconsciously, it's been almost two years!" Ye Gucheng sighed lightly and said slowly: "In this year and eight months, do you think the clansmen can completely integrate into this land?"
Xuanyuan Jing fell silent for a moment.
