Chapter 509: Parting
The sky was still dark, and the spring rain in Zhejiang and Zhejiang gently fluttered on the loquat in the courtyard, rustling. The attic was dim, and several young ladies had already gotten up and silently packed their bags for him, and the atmosphere was indescribably depressing.
Luo Ning served him to put on his underwear and armor, and looked up and down again, carefully stretching his armor straight.
"Big brother, this is a winter shirt, and the other bag is a summer one, all of which we made for you. I heard that the wind and sand outside Nasai are strong, and the weather is abnormal in the morning and evening, so you have to change your clothes in time, don't be lazy. Qiaoqiao pointed to a few large packages in front of him, and told them one by one: "There are also the toiletries I packed for you, towels, salt and soap, and more than ten pairs of new shoes I made for you, I don't know if there is enough for you to wearββ"
I thought of everything I could think of, and I brought everything I bringed, for fear that something would be missed. As Xiao Nizi spoke, her eyes turned red, and tears swirled in the corners of her eyes.
It's like I'm going to war, it's like going on a trip, and the days when I have a wife are really incomparable with when I used to fight singles. Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly and shook her head, but she couldn't disobey the kindness of the ladies, so she had to hold Qiaoqiao's hand and smile comfortingly: "You have brought me so many things, which is not enough to wear." It's not as bad as you imagined, don't worry. β
"Lin Lang, this is for you to wear." Xiao Qingxuan hung a jade Buddha around his neck carefully, and said softly: "This is what my queen mother left me, and she will definitely keep you safe all the way." β
Xiao Yuruo's cheeks were dizzy, and he stepped forward slowly, holding a heart talisman made of red thread in his hand, and gently hung it around his neck: "This is called a heart lock." One for me, one for you. She gestured with her small hand on her plump and straight breasts, and then pointed a little at Lin Wanrong's chest, and her eyes were moist.
Ning'er, Xian'er, Qiaoqiao, Second Miss. But one is not far behind, golden locks, jade pendants, peace charms, everyone has a personal little thing to give, and his neck is full of it.
The beauty is so gracious, it's too hard to bear, Lord Lin shook his head and sighed, If I delay like this, I'm afraid that I won't be able to leave.
Qin Xian'er hung the sword in front of him, and Chief Gao had already prepared a carriage and was waiting in front of the mansion. Seeing him go out and board the chariot, the horse will raise its hooves.
"Lin Sanβ" The eldest lady cried out sadly. I don't know where I got the courage, so I got into the carriage with a long skirt and got into his arms hard.
Look at Xiao Yuruo's appearance. The young ladies under the car were even more gloomy, and the tears merged with the rain that was sprinkled.
Holding the eldest lady's weak and boneless body in her arms, the feeling in Lin Wanrong's heart was indescribable: "Be good, don't cry, don't cry." I'll be back soon. β
The eldest lady said quietly: "Do you only have this sentence to coax people?!" β
Lin Wanrong was stunned, and then smiled: "My character, don't you know it yet?" I've never coaxed people. Little girl. When we come back from the battle, we will go back to Lingyin Temple to repay our vows, and the marriage sign I will give you will be solved, won't it all come true? The great monk of Lingyin Temple is quite honest! β
"Nasty!" The eldest lady snorted softly, twisted him with a red face, and took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, held back her shyness, and kissed him on the cheek like a dragonfly. He said softly: "Come back quickly, I'll wait for you!! β
The eldest lady shyly jumped out of the car, "I'll wait for you," this gentle jade soft voice made Lord Lin's heart crispy.
He suddenly laughed and shouted to the young ladies with teary eyes: "Come, hug them!" Pay attention to discipline and come one by one. Hey, Second Miss, I only said hug, I didn't say kiss-"
The carriage walked far away, and the high chief turned around, but saw the young ladies standing in the rain, and the oil-paper umbrellas had long been lost. Chief Gao shook his head and sighed: "Brother, I really envy you, the deep affection of several ladies for you is deeper than the waters of the East China Sea." β
"Yes, it's really affectionate," Lord Lin wiped the lipstick and rouge on his face hard, and said helplessly: "But it's too enthusiastic-Ning'er's rouge, she is sincere to let the soldiers of the three armies see my jokes, haha-"
The light rain walked all the way down, and before it reached the outside of the city, the rain became thicker again, drifting in diagonally, hitting the people's faces, and feeling painful.
"Green hats, green clothes, slanting wind and drizzle do not need to return." Lord Lin opened the curtain and looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance, in the drizzle, it was like a good ink splash landscape painting, he shook his head and sighed: "It's wind and rain, today's departure day, I'm afraid the choice is not very good." β
Chief Gao snorted: "This is Qintian's supervision, I heard that the confused old men there watched the stars at night, and speculated for a month, so they chose today's auspicious day of the zodiac." Hmph, let me see, this is clearly the emperor's silver. β
Lin Wanrong laughed a few times and did not answer. When I arrived at the camp in the north of the city, the sky was still gloomy, and only a trace of dawn was revealed on the side, but the torch was burning in the camp, and the barracks were bright and bright.
"General, you're here." At the gate of the camp, Hu Bugui, Du Xiuyuan, Li Sheng, and Xu Zhen were all in line, and all the soldiers were neatly armoured, and when they saw his carriage coming, they hurriedly rushed over in surprise.
Lin Wanrong lifted the curtain and got out of the car, clasped his hands towards everyone, and said with a smile: "Yo, everyone is here." Look at you, are you still worried that I won't come, when did I become a deserter?! β
Several people laughed. Seeing that his armor was neatly worn, but his legs were still bandaged, Du Xiuyuan whispered: "General, how is your injury?" β
Lin Wanrong nodded: "Don't worry, it will recover in a few days." When we reach the front line, we can race with the horses again. β
Du Xiuyuan was relieved at this time, and several people were about to enter the camp tent, but they saw a figure running out of the oblique thorn, blocking their way: "Lin San, you, your words don't count!" β
The man who stood in the way was thirteen or fourteen years old, his brows were furrowed, his fists were clenched, and he didn't know what kind of grievance he had suffered. Lin Wanrong glanced at him strangely and said with a smile: "Yo, isn't this Xiao Lizi, what's the matter, where does my talk not count?!" β
Li Wuling snorted and did not answer, Hu Bugui said: "General, Wuling wants to go north with my army, and the marshal will teach this matter to Xu Junshi to deal with, but Miss Xu just won't allow it." Seeing that the army is about to leave today, can he not be in a hurry?! β
Lin Wanrong sighed, and then remembered that the last time he came to the camp, Li Wuling was bent on following his subordinates to the front line to kill the enemy. It's just that he is young and Li Tai's only grandson, the stakes are very high, no one dares to make a claim, and Li Tai is noncommittal, and only taught Xu Zhiqing to deal with this matter. Li Wuling meant to find him and said to Xu Zhiqing.
Seeing Xiao Lizi's annoyed appearance, Lin Wanrong patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "What, haven't your Aunt Xu agreed to this yet?!" β
"It's strange that she can say yes!" Li Wuling said angrily: "I begged her and didn't know how many hundreds, but Aunt Xu's temperament is the same as yours, and she is stubborn." General Lin, Brother Lin, this is what you promised at the beginning, what do you say?! β
Lord Lin and Miss Xu are now in a cold war, and if they want him to open their mouths to beg Xu Zhiqing, they can't open their mouths anyway.
"Otherwise, you set off with our army first," Lin Wanrong thought for a while and said: "When the army goes out of the border fortress, it will create an established fact, and Miss Xu wants to blame, but there is no way." β
"Okay-" Li Wuling was about to clap his hands, but Du Xiuyuan hurriedly stopped: "General, this matter is not feasible." Xu Junshi is strict in governing the army, and the number of soldiers in the army is reported every day. If Wuling rashly hides in the army, once it is found out, according to the temperament of Xu Junshi, he will definitely be dealt with strictly, and it is not impossible to behead him. β
Hu Bugui and the others have been training under Xu Zhiqing for a long time, and nodded approvingly when they heard this. Lord Lin gasped when he heard this, wouldn't it, Xu Yatou was so violent?
"Therefore, if you really want Wuling to accompany the army. I had to go and say something nice to Xu Junshi. I believe that with General Lin's demeanor and demeanor, Miss Xu will definitely adopt the general's words. Hu Bugui winked at Lin Wanrong, his expression was very ambiguous. He followed Lin Wanrong to Shandong, and saw with his own eyes that Lord Lin hugged and hugged Xu Junshi, Xu Junshi never really scolded except for being annoyed, and the relationship between the two can be imagined.
"Well, let me think about it, ah, anxious. On the thatched house first, at this time and at that time, Miss Xu and I were already covered with water. Lord Lin's face was distressed, and he was about to use a trick. Li Wuling anxiously grabbed him: "General Lin, Brother Lin, I beg you, in the first half an hour, the oath meeting will be over." The army was about to set off, and I had no hope at all. Quick, fast. I'll lead you to Aunt Xu, pleaseβ"
This kid snorted and cried, pushed his wheelchair and walked to the camp, how is Lord Lin, a disabled man, his opponent, shouted twice, but Li Wuling's pace became faster and faster.
Xu Zhiqing's tent was set up in the middle of the barracks, next to Li Tai's handsome camp, and at this time, the swearing-in meeting was about to begin, and the soldiers were dispatching. For a while, swords, guns, swords, halberds, people came and went, and groups of soldiers ran murderously in front of Lin Wanrong's eyes, and the atmosphere was very tense.
"I said Xiao Lizi, can this matter be discussed again," Thinking of going to see Xu Zhiqing, Lin Wanrong's heart was a little hairy: "That's okay, I'll go directly to the general, he is the generalissimo, and everything is up to him." β
Li Wuling shook his head and said, "My brother Lin, it's all here, it's useless to look for grandpa." He handed over the dispatch to Aunt Xu, and he would never interfere again. Isn't it just a couple of words with Aunt Xu, are you pushing back and forth, are you afraid that she won't succeed? β
The agitation method came out, and Lin Wanrong snorted and smiled bitterly.
On the edge of Li Tai's tent, next to a small tent, the curtain was slightly lifted, and a dim light came out, and some voices could be faintly heard.
"It's here," Li Wuling quietly lowered his voice, folded his hands, and said earnestly: "Brother Lin, you must do this for me, I, Li Wuling, will count on you all my life." Please, please! β
This kid is sincere in his words and has the heart to defend the country, which is quite rare. It's all at this point, and it can't be shirked if you want to, Lin Wanrong can only bite the bullet.
Li Wuling pushed him to the door of the tent with his hands and feet, and Lin Wanrong knocked twice on the curtain with a fake sound: "Excuse me, is there anyone inside?!" β
"Who's making a fuss?!" A clear man's voice came from the tent, very majestic.
Li Wuling, this kid, caused me to go to the wrong door, Lin Wanrong laughed, and was about to retreat, but the curtain had been lifted, and a majestic man walked out of it, with a beautiful posture, dignified appearance, wearing armor and armor, and very powerful. When he saw Lin Wanrong, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Isn't this General Lin?" Why, you've already returned to the camp, have you come to see Xu Junshi?! β
This is the young general who once took the initiative to ask Ying to compete with Lin Wanrong for the commander of the right side, called Yu Zongcai, Lin Wanrong has a good memory, so he naturally recognizes it clearly.
"It turned out to be General Yu," Lin Wanrong hugged his fists and smiled: "Disrespectful and disrespectful." You're dressed so handsomely, I don't recognize you anymore. May I ask if this is Xu Junshi's camp tent? I'd like to talk to her about something. β
"Shh," Yu Zongcai lowered his voice: "Miss Xu is thinking about the future itinerary of the army, don't disturb her." If General Lin has any matter, you might as well tell me first, and then I will tell Miss Xu. β
By you? Lord Lin was dumbfounded, this Miss Xu's shelf is getting bigger and bigger, and she actually found this general to be the secretary. Lin Wanrong let out a long sigh and said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just a trivial matter related to my Dahua's foundation in the next hundred years, and I want to discuss it with Miss Xu." I don't know if it's inconvenient for the military to report it? Oh, it doesn't matter if it's inconvenient, I'll go and discuss it with the general, and it's the same. β
Master Lin was very angry, and as soon as he came up, he said that it was related to Dahua's foundation in the next hundred years, Yu Zongcai didn't dare to slack off when he heard it, and said cautiously: "General Lin, Miss Xu is really tired, can you tell me first, and I will report it as appropriate." β
This is a young and handsome general, and he has repeatedly protected Xu Zhiqing, and his mind is probably not as simple as the reverence of his subordinates for the military advisor. Lin Wanrong smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Yu, this matter is very important, if it can be revealed, with the relationship between our brothers, why not let me show a little tone to you?" It's just that the stakes are big, and I don't dare to take the liberty of making the decision, so I ask my brother for forgiveness! β
He was much younger than General Yu, but he kept calling his brother, and he was smiling again, how could General Yu not be annoyed when he heard it.
I'm a fart brother with you, General Yu snorted and was about to speak, when a woman's tired voice came from the tent: "Who is making noise outside?!" β
Yu Zongcai hurriedly said: "Miss Xu, it's General Lin, the pioneer on the right, who is here, and he said that he has something important to see you!" β
There was a muffled sound in the tent, and I don't know what happened, after a long silence, Xu Zhiqing's faint voice came: "Brother Yu, please tell General Lin that the emperor is coming soon, and the army is about to begin." If there is anything, we will talk about it after the departure of the army. β
Yu Zongcai glanced at Lin Wanrong with a smile, and signaled that I had already reported it, and Miss Xu said that she couldn't see you.
Lin Wanrong smiled and said casually: "Since Xu Junshi doesn't want to hear it, then forget it, anyway, it is related to the foundation of my Dahua in the next hundred years, and Xu Junshi doesn't care much about it." β
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, and there was silence in the tent for a while, and Xu Zhiqing's voice sounded slowly: "Please General Lin enter the account and speak." β
If you tell me to come in, will I come in? Lin Wanrong sighed, and before she took a few steps, she was stopped by Yu Zongcai: "General Lin, Miss Xu, please let you in." β
Yu Zongcai was very in awe of Xu Zhiqing, and hurriedly pushed Lin Wanrong into the camp. This big tent is not big, there is a book and an oil lamp in front, but a small space is separated by a curtain in the back, which is Miss Xu's temporary boudoir.
The oil lamp is dim. Xu Zhiqing's pretty face is clean and flawless, as crystal as a crown of jade. She was wearing a lilac skirt, with a graceful figure, and there was bloodshot in Danfeng's eyes. Obviously, these days are not a good place to rest.
Seeing Lin San come in, she glanced slightly, and saw that he was wearing armor, although his face was black, his appearance was also very burly, and he seemed to be a different person from the appearance of the green sun. It's just that his legs are still heavily wrapped, and the injury is not yet good.
Seeing that some lipstick primers faintly printed on his face had not yet been wiped clean, Miss Xu's eyelids drooped, and she said lightly: "General Lin returned to the camp in time." It is really gratifying to add wings to our army. β
It was the first time the two had seen each other since the quarrel that day. I haven't seen her for a few days, Miss Xu's cheeks seem to have lost a lot of weight, and her figure is even more beautiful, Lin Wanrong didn't dare to look at it after a few peeks.
"Miss Xu is polite," Lin Wanrong snorted and said, "Actually, I came to see you today." There is a major matter related to the future rise and fall of my Dahua, and I want to discuss it with Miss Xu-"
He paused and was silent, Xu Zhiqing didn't know what he meant. He glanced at Yu Zongcai: "Brother Yu, if you go back to Marshal, just say that I will arrive later, and I will not delay the moment of oath-taking." β
Yu Zongcai let out a slightly disappointed sound, secretly glanced at Miss Xu, bowed his head and went out. The two of them were the only ones left in the tent, and the atmosphere was a little silent.
"Now General Lin can say that what is going on is related to the future rise and fall of my Dahua." Xu Zhiqing's expression was flat. The slender hand gently picked up the twist of the lamp, and the oil lamp crackled softly. Her hands shone in the light, glowing with jade light.
Lin Wanrong withdrew her gaze from her hand, lowered her voice and said, "Actually, it's about Li Wuling's local affairs-"
As soon as his voice fell, he heard Miss Xu sneer: "This is what you said about the big thing related to the rise and fall of my Dahua?" Are you so alarmist, are you joking about the major affairs of our military state?! Lord Lin, Lin Yuma, this is in the army, not the imperial court, or the most noble princess of Dahua to protect you, and the military law can also handle you. β
This girl was like eating gunpowder, and her speech was so ugly, Lin Wanrong's stubbornness also came up, he snorted coldly, and his old face turned dark: "What a military law!! Since Xu Junshi thinks I'm alarmist, let's do itβ"
"You-" Xu Zhiqing stood up, her willow eyebrows raised lightly, and her pretty face turned red. But Lin San was not afraid, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, as if he wanted to fight her to the end. The two of them didn't say a few words, but they blushed again and had thick necks, as if the scene of the visit that day was repeated.
Neither of them spoke, and the silence in the tent was terrible, and only the crackling of the fire and candles provoked by the oil lamps eased the tense atmosphere a little.
"No matter what you say, I will never allow Wuling to go north." Miss Xu snorted, and finally opened her mouth, her tone with unshakable firmness.
Lin Wanrong's smile was not salty or light: "The legs are long on Xiao Lizi himself, he wants to go to the battlefield, why are you stopping him?" Please give me a reason! β
hated him the most for his plain and watery appearance, like a tree stump, without even a trace of emotion, Miss Xu gritted her teeth and snorted: "What other reason, just because his surname is Li, he is the only bloodline of Dahua's first military general family, he can't go!" Not to mention that he is young, but to say that he is in the Li lineage, is the banner in the hearts of my Dahua soldiers, if he goes to the north, once there is an accident, what kind of blow to the morale of our army? How excited will the Hu people be? DID YOU KNOW THAT?! β
Xu Zhiqing's eyes flashed with tears, and she didn't know if it aroused the sadness in her heart, but she held back it strongly, not letting the tears fall.
"Dahua's No. 1 military general's family?!" Lin Wanrong said disdainfully: "Miss Xu, what you said was before, and this name will no longer exist in the future." β
"Nonsense! Why?! Xu Zhiqing said stubbornly.
"Miss Xu, are you really confused or fake," Lin Wanrong snorted: "A descendant of the Li family who has never been on the battlefield, a Taiping Marquis who lives in Beijing, this is the family of the first military generals of Dahua who relies on the inheritance?" Joke!!! Protected and captive by you, the family of the first military generals of Dahua will be destroyed in your hands, not to mention the ancestors of the Li family, that is, General Li Tai, can he agree? β
Miss Xu said coldly: "Even if I protect my shortcomings, once Li Wuling has an accident, how excited will the Hu people be, and how depressed will our army be?" If the morale of the army is lost, the war will be lost, have you ever considered it?! β
"Hahahaha-" Lin Wanrong laughed loudly, the voice shook the tent, Xu Zhiqing was ashamed and annoyed: "What are you laughing at, can't you talk about me?!" β
"Miss Xu, why don't you think the other way around? Li Wuling can't go to the battlefield, and there is no successor to the first military general of Dahua, so who is the happiest? Who is the most disappointed? Lin Wanrong suppressed her laughter and sighed slightly: "My opinion is the opposite of yours. Li Wuling could not go to the battlefield, and the Hu people would be excited, because since then they have one less terrible opponent, and the Dahua sergeant has one less future commander, it is the relatives who are painful, and the enemies are fast, and they have destroyed the Great Wall. Isn't this damaging to Dahua's foundation for the next 100 years, and I am alarmist? β
He is clever in his words, but what he says is not unreasonable. Miss Xu said bitterly: "Even if you are not alarmist, what if there is an accident in Wuling?!" The Li family only has such a trace of blood left!! β
Lin Wanrong said angrily: "Miss Xu, let me ask you, why can the children of other people's families die in battle, but Li Wuling can't have an accident?" Is it because he is Li Tai's grandson?! The style of your high-ranking official's son is unacceptable!! β
"What kind of high-ranking official's style, I have never thought of it like this." Miss Xu was also annoyed, and her voice unconsciously raised a lot.
"You don't think that, but you do. Because Xiao Lizi is the grandson of General Li Tai, you unconsciously distinguish him from the people of the world, everyone else can die, but he can't die. But have you ever thought about it, who of these thousands of soldier brothers is not raised by their mother's father? Who isn't a sweetheart baby? Who will be nobler than whom? Li Wuling died in battle, maybe some people will be sad, but that is the glory of the warrior, there is nothing to say. The Li family is gone, and there will still be the Wang family, the Qian family, and the Zhou family. I am afraid of Dahua, and I have never lacked a backbone!! Sitting in the shadow of my ancestors, I will never object to it, because it is the blood of my ancestors. You enjoy the peace of mind of the earth. But don't think of this enjoyment as if everyone owes it to you. Miss Xu, to put it mildly, you are using your own selfishness to misunderstand my Dahua foundation, and you are wrong! - Hey, don't fight, I'll go, I'll go by myself! β
"Get out, get out!" Miss Xu's shoulders trembled. scolded fiercely.
He only cared about what he said, how could Xu Zhiqing, a proud woman, withstand such a reproach from him. His cheeks turned white with anger, his red lips were about to be bitten, and the tears rolled down like beads of broken threads, and his little hands grabbed the oil lamp and threw it at him.
Yu Zongcai waited outside the tent. Hearing this, he rushed in, and when he saw Xu Zhiqing's tearful face, his face was in a hurry. With a shout, he rushed towards Lin Wanrong.
"Brother Yu, what are you doing?!" Xu Zhiqing was shocked, and she couldn't wipe her tears, so she hurriedly dodged in front of Lin Wanrong and scolded Yu Zongcai.
Yu Zongcai was stunned: "Miss Xu, didn't General Lin bully you?!" β
Xu Zhiqing's eyes were gloomy, looking at the flickering candle flame, and said lightly: "Brother Yu is mistaken, what is he bullying me for?" It was only when we thought of the sad thing. What does he have to do with crying himself?! β
Yu Zongcai didn't know if what she said was true or not, but when he saw Lin San's eyebrows, his eyes were shaking, and his appearance was very weird. He snorted and hugged his fists towards Lin Wanrong, but a smile appeared on his face: "General Lin forgives the sin, Zong Cai almost misunderstood the general, and please forgive me." β
"Look at the ground, brother, am I such a bad person?" Lord Lin smiled and hid the hidden weapon back in his arms, and patted Yu Zongcai on the shoulder affectionately.
Xu Zhiqing's expression gradually recovered, and seeing the two people in front of her, she snorted: "Brother Yu, General Lin, please go back first, the oath is about to begin." β
Lin Wanrong sighed, and said, "Then I just told Miss Xu about something-"
Which pot is this, Miss Xu's face changed, and she said angrily: "I have already replied to you, do you want me to say it again?" I still have important things to do, Brother Yu, you send General Lin out. β
This girl's stubborn temper is really a fight with me, seeing that Miss Xu's cheeks were as cold as frost, Lin Wanrong also knew that this thing would definitely not work, so she hummed and walked out of the camp.
Before the army set off, the right vanguard and Xu Junshi had a lot of trouble for several rounds, and this matter was spread, but I was afraid that no one would believe it. Lin Wanrong returned to his camp in a gloomy manner, Du Xiuyuan and the others were already neatly arrayed, waiting for him to return, but they didn't see Li Wuling's kid.
"Is it done?!" Seeing that his face was not good, Hu Bugui asked carefully.
"Woman, woman," Lin Wanrong shook her head and sighed bitterly, answering the question: "This mind is too difficult to figure out." Brother Hu, you go and inform Xiao Lizi and tell him to be at home at ease and be a prince of peace! β
Seeing that this matter had come to an end, everyone also felt regretful, since following General Lin, this was the first time he had missed, or was it lost in the hands of Miss Xu, everyone always felt a little strange, but they couldn't say it.
As the drizzle continued and the sky gradually brightened, a huge point general platform with a height of three zhang and a length and width of about 20 zhang was built on the north side of the exercise ground, and a tall pergola was erected on the point general platform. The golden dragon flag is flying, the handsome flag is fluttering, and the atmosphere is smashing in the rain.
On both sides of the platform, there is a person who comes to the highland cowhide drum, and thousands of wooden stakes are erected in front of it, and countless cows are tied to it, which is specially used for sacrificial flags.
The old emperor was wearing a crown with a solemn expression, and the drizzle hit his face, but he didn't feel anything.
"Your Majesty, the auspicious time has arrived!" The chief of the Qin Heavenly Prison let out a long shout, and the emperor nodded slightly at Li Tai.
The general stepped forward, his white hair looked extremely desolate and tragic in the wind and rain, he swept his eyes in all directions, and said in a long voice: "Swear to break the Hulu and defend my Dahua." Where are the boys--drumming, ordering-"
"Drumming, soldiersβ"
"Drumming, soldiersβ"
The order was passed down from north to south, layer by layer, and the sound of singing was endless.
"Knock-knock-", the dull and loud sound of drums pierced the silence of the sky and startled the sleeping birds in the forest. The sound of horns, horses' hooves, footsteps, armor rubbing, and swords and guns slammed into the earth as if heavy trees were all over the place, and the sound was huge.
The army in the camp is already ready to go. Just two drums have been heard, and the three armies have already been assembled. As far as the eye can see, the ground is dark and oppressive, and it is full of human heads.
Hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, all with bright armor, solemn faces, swords, guns, swords, and halberds, and cold light shimmering. In the middle is the elite soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, tens of thousands of sharpshooters and crossbowmen, hundreds of artillery pieces have a new look, and the swarthy barrels are pointing straight to the sky. The cavalry camp on the right-hand side, the war horses entered, the knights entered the ranks, and the swords and spears in their hands flashed with a faint cold light, which was daunting. Although there were many soldiers and generals, there was no sound on the entire exercise ground, and even the neighing of the war horse could not be heard. Li Tai's military training is indeed worthy of his reputation.
The waiter of the Ministry of Rites read out the edict of sending troops, bitterly stating the calamity of the Turks, the heart of the Hu people and the wolf, brutalizing hundreds of people in Dahua, coveting the fertile land of Dahua, and making the heavens angry and resentful. Emperor Dahua conformed to the will of heaven and the people, and millions of heroes rose up in groups, and they were bound to defeat the Turks, recover the border passes, and raise the prestige of Dahua.
I don't know who drafted this edict, it's obscure, and Lin Wanrong can't hold on to it after listening to half of it. looked in his queue, but suddenly saw Li Wuling's shadow. This kid was wearing armor and looked thoughtful, standing in the middle of the queue, listening to the edict very attentively, and his cheeks were red with excitement.
"You kid looking for death?!" Lin Wanrong hurriedly ordered Chief Gao to drag him over, and slapped him on the head: "Sneak to my right camp, if your Aunt Xu finds out and disposes of your military law, who can protect you." β
Li Wuling smiled indifferently and said, "General Lin, Brother Lin, you are so powerful, are you afraid of my Aunt Xu?" β
Lin Wanrong was not provoked by him, and laughed a few times: "It's useless to say too much, I've done my best, I can't stand your aunt's temper." You better go back and stay honestly, if I have time, I will catch a Turkic daughter-in-law for you and come back to play with you. β
Li Wuling cut his voice disdainfully: "Even Aunt Xu let me come." What am I going back to do? β
"Who, who made you here?!" Lord Lin hurriedly plucked out his ears and asked seriously.
"What, didn't you convince Aunt Xu?!" This time it was Li Wuling's turn to be surprised: "It was she who personally entrusted me to join your army!" β
Departure is imminent. Li Wuling would never joke about this kind of thing, so it was really Miss Xu's meaning. Lin Wanrong was also a little stupid, and hurriedly looked around for Xu Zhiqing, but in this army of hundreds of thousands, there was a vast sea of people, and where could I see her shadow.
"Kill Hu Lu and defend my Dahua!" Hundreds of thousands of troops converged into an endless ocean, all of them with red faces and swords and guns raised high. They all shouted. The monstrous heat wave, even the continuous spring rain, seems to be covered.
Lin Wanrong raised her head and looked. But it turned out to be the old emperor's lecture: "-- Those who enter are rewarded heavily, and those who retreat are killed." My thousand words have been turned into one sentence - those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away! I will be on the stage at this point, on the 15th day of August, when the moon is full. Waiting for the triumphant return of all the soldiers. Dry-"
The Emperor drank the bowl of spirits and threw the bowl down. Tens of thousands of soldiers held high the sea bowl at the same time, and drank the liquor together. The sound of porcelain bowls breaking came and went, endlessly.
"Sacrificial flag-" Li Tai let out a long shout, and thousands of knights jumped out at the same time, people roared and horses, and the spears and sabers in their hands whirled.
"Killβ" More than a thousand cavalrymen galloped wildly, and quickly marched to the bottom of the general's platform, and saw the cattle tied to the altar, and their hands rose and fell, and their movements were neatly like a cold light. The heads of thousands of livestock were cut off at the same time. Blood was spilled all over the school grounds. The knights held the bloody head high and rushed back quickly, the bloody light stirring up the murderous aura of the soldiers.
"Killβ"
"Killβ"
Hundreds of thousands of people raised their swords and guns, shouting in unison, the momentum reached the sky, earth-shattering, Xu Zhen, Hu Bugui and others around him, their eyes were red, blood was surging, and their thick voices shook Lin Wanrong's eardrums to buzz.
The general's white hair fluttered in the wind in the sporadic light rain, and he stood up against the wind, and the long sword in his hand swung forward violently: "Sons, let's go-"
The beating of war drums was like spring thunder striking on everyone's hearts. Hundreds of thousands of troops, like long snakes lined up, braved the spring rain and drove straight to the north, flying high flags, as if it was the mood of every soldier who went out, excited and tragic.
Thousands of people, around both sides of the road, followed the team and ran together, and the army that could not be seen at a glance merged into a huge dragon with the people on both sides.
This time, I'm afraid it's life and death. The white-haired old lady, the newlywed wife, and the children under Chenghuan's knees, shouted the names of their relatives over and over again, and their tears dried up, hoping to see the appearance of the person in their dreams again. Occasionally, when they find their relatives, they hug each other tightly and do not want to be separated again. The bags of dried melons, fruits, and food, whether they knew it or not, stuffed it straight into the hands of the soldiers.
"The hardest thing is parting!" The tragic and desolate atmosphere made Hu Bugui, a veteran who had been fighting with the Hu people for many years, couldn't help but moisten his eyes and sigh.
Lin Wanrong has never experienced this kind of scene, this is a real parting of life and death, looking at the countless wives and mothers who dragged their children and daughters, looked forward to it, and cried so much that they broke their bowels, this shocking taste is difficult to describe without personal experience. He suddenly hated war more than ever.
"Big brother, Xianggong-" There was a coquettish cry from there, but it was Ning'er wearing the most colorful shirt, kicking on the roof of the carriage, like a butterfly wearing flowers, tears in the water, shaking her little hands desperately, and she had already cried into a tearful person. Qingxuan held her big belly, and the eldest lady hugged her tightly, Qiaoqiao, Yushuang, Xian'er...... They huddled with everyone, rolling with the flow of people, moving step by step, waving at him over and over again.
"Ning'er, Qingxuan, Xian'er, Yushuang, Yuruo, Qiaoqiao, you take care, take care-" Lin Wanrong waved her hand as hard as she could, tears like a flood that had burst the floodgates, surging down.
In the hazy eyes of tears, the familiar faces slowly drowned in the sea of people, gradually getting farther away, far away.
