Chapter 518: Withdrawal
Without the slightest melancholy, the girl came to Wei Chao's side, saluted respectfully, and said, "The daughter has seen her father, and the things that her father explained have been done." Granny Huang and Mr. Fan are both inside, but her daughter has been in it, and there is no secret passage here. ”
Looking at the girl lovingly, Wei Chao's face flashed with joy, nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay, very good!" The father will ask the emperor for a holy decree, and you will follow the father in the future! It's really hard for you for so many years, I'm sorry for you for my father! ”
Luo Sigong, who was standing beside Wei Chao, was stunned, but he didn't expect that this girl was actually the daughter of Wei Chao and the daughter of the eunuch, which made Luo Sigong feel ridiculous. However, among the eunuchs, this kind of thing is not unusual, but Luo Sigong didn't expect that the Wei Dynasty would have a daughter.
In the Forbidden City, most of the eunuchs were sent to the palace when they were young, but some were not. This part of the people were really sent to the palace after they became adults, and these people were forced by life, and it was not uncommon to have wives and children.
Although Wei was only a teenager when he entered the palace, he already had a wife and a daughter at that time. Later, because of the disaster at home, he was separated from his wife and daughter, and he was still found by the Wei Dynasty after so many years.
"Grandpa Wei, what's going on? This is your daughter? After arranging the arrest, Luo Sigong couldn't wait to come to Wei Chao's side and asked curiously.
"Yes! Our family had a wife before entering the palace, and this is my daughter. Speaking of which, I still have to thank Lord Luo, last time I learned from Lord Luo that there was a very trusting maid by the side of the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect, so our family paid attention. At the same time as sending someone to the White Lotus Sect to go undercover, he naturally checked this maid carefully. It doesn't matter if you don't check, after a check, I found out that Ping Ping'er is the lost daughter of our family! Wei Chao's face was very excited, and his expression was full of gratitude.
It's a coincidence. After discovering this incident, Wei Chao personally met with Ping'er once and confirmed the father-daughter relationship between the two. After that, Ping'er became the biggest undercover agent in the White Lotus Sect in Dongchang.
"Father-in-law Wei is broad-minded and can let his own daughter sacrifice her life to take risks, Luo really admires it very much!" Luo Sigong hurriedly protected his chest. looked at Wei Chao with a sincere face, but there was an inexplicable taste in his eyes.
As the governor of Dongchang, the Wei Dynasty was naturally extremely intellectual, and he understood what Luo Sigong meant in an instant. Originally, he just wanted his daughter to make meritorious contributions, and he would be able to get a legal identity for his daughter from the Emperor of the Apocalypse. Hearing Luo Sigong's words, Wei Chao suddenly changed his mind.
Knowing that this was Luo Sigong reminding himself, Wei Chao suddenly nodded in understanding. If he sent his daughter to the White Lotus Sect to go undercover, then her daughter was not only able to clear her name, but she also left the impression of being selfless. The credit is naturally great, and the benefits are naturally many.
Glancing at Luo Sigong gratefully, Wei Chao smiled and hugged his fists and said, "Lord Luo is really thoughtful, our family knows!" ”
While the two were talking, the people of Jinyiwei and Dongchang had already rushed in, this was just a small courtyard, and there were not many people inside, and the battle did not last long. Soon several people were escorted out. Naturally, there is the polite Mr. Fan, and Granny Huang is also among them.
But when the two saw the girl standing with Wei Chao. His face was full of shock and disbelief. After figuring out what was going on, the eyes of the two of them were full of hatred, as if they wanted to tear Wei Ping'er apart.
"Are you right? If it weren't for the Holy Maiden, you would have starved to death on the streets, and now you have betrayed the Holy Sect, you will not end well! It seems to be to express the resentment in his heart. Granny Huang glared at Wei Ping'er fiercely and scolded.
However, it was the fan of Dongchang who was holding Granny Huang, and his face suddenly became very ugly, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he took off Granny Huang's chin. Granny Huang could only make a whining sound. But his eyes became more fierce.
Leaning her body in Wei Chao's arms, Wei Ping'er didn't dare to look at Granny Huang, her face was full of gaze, and her body was constantly trembling.
Gently stroking his daughter's back, Wei Chao's face was full of pity, and at the same time there was a trace of remorse. However, the gaze that looked at Granny Huang was unusually cold, as if she was not looking at a person, but a corpse.
Although Luo Sigong on the side saw Wei Chao's gaze, Luo Sigong didn't say anything, as if he hadn't seen anything. Luo Sigong knew very well in his heart that the life and death of these people was not something that he and the Wei Dynasty could decide, and he also believed that the Wei Dynasty would not dare to do anything in private.
Although he tossed all night, Luo Sigong's face did not have the slightest tired look, he was still in good spirits, and he looked at the Forbidden City with relief in his eyes.
At this time, on the land of Liaodong, Sun Chengzong could not breathe a sigh of relief, and the battle that he thought would be smooth fell into anxiety. Fushun, who originally thought it would be won soon, fought for three days but did not look like it had fallen in the slightest.
Looking at the map in front of him, Sun Chengzong's brows furrowed tightly, the weather was getting colder and colder, and it was becoming more and more unsuitable for the army to fight. In the past few days, there have been more and more soldiers who have been unable to move because of frostbite, and Sun Chengzong knows that he may not be able to retreat if he does not retreat.
Hearing footsteps behind him, Sun Chengzong didn't look back, but said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Is there something wrong?" Don't bother the old man if there's nothing to do! In Sun Chengzong's opinion, in such a late night, the only person who can disturb himself is his own personal soldiers.
However, Sun Chengzong's idea was quickly frustrated, because Xiong Tingbi's voice sounded behind him, and he said with a little worry: "My lord, it's so late, why don't you rest?" ”
Xiong Tingbi came out of the training camp at night, but he didn't expect Sun Chengzong's tent to be lit, so he came over to take a look, but he didn't expect Sun Chengzong to sleep yet.
"Flying hundred! I'm too old to sleep! Sun Chengzong saw that it was Xiong Tingbi, and a flash of joy flashed on his face, and he looked at Xiong Tingbi with a smile, and said with a smile.
"My lord, on such a cold day, your body is not very good, you should rest early! It doesn't matter if we can't take Fushun now, we can do it again, the body of an adult is much more important than Fushun City! Looking at the tea bowl on the side, Xiong Tingbi knew that Sun Chengzong had drunk a lot of tea again, and his brows suddenly wrinkled.
Although Sun Chengzong is in good spirits and in good health on weekdays, Xiong Tingbi is very clear. For Sun Chengzong, who is over the age of six, the bitter cold land of Liaodong is really not suitable. But Xiong Tingbi also knew that this land in eastern Liaodong could not be without Sun Chengzong, otherwise it would be very troublesome.
"Flying hundred! Now that the weather is so cold, Fushun City is prepared, it seems that it is not easy for us to take Fushun City! Looking at Xiong Tingbi deeply, Sun Chengzong's face had a hint of hesitation, and at this time, Sun Chengzong was also a little undecided.
Sighing softly, Xiong Tingbi naturally knew what Sun Chengzong meant, but Xiong Tingbi didn't have any good way. If he was given a month, it would be enough to knock Fushun City down, but now it is powerless.
Lowering his head and thinking about it, Xiong Tingbi said in a deep voice: "My lord, now our choice is nothing more than two kinds, first, we will withdraw our troops as soon as possible and reduce our losses. Second, he continued to attack Fushun and took Fushun City regardless of losses. ”
"What do you think?" Looking at Xiong Tingbi with a smile, as if all the sorrow was gone, Sun Chengzong returned to his original demeanor.
"My lord, the lower official thinks that the army should be withdrawn now!" Looking up at Sun Chengzong, Xiong Tingbi's tone was very serious, and his eyes flashed with determination.
Nodding with a smile, Sun Chengzong's face flashed with relief, and he said in a relaxed tone: "Tell me why?" ”
"My lord, Fushun is just a city, and there will be a chance to take it down in the future. Those outside are all soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and they are the elite soldiers of Liaodong, and they can't afford to lose a little! Xiong Tingbi's face flashed with pity, his tone was unshakable with resoluteness, and he looked at Sun Chengzong with blazing eyes.
Sighing, Sun Chengzong said with a smile on his face and in a relaxed tone: "Since this is the case, then withdraw the army!" (To be continued......)
