When we rushed back to the temporary camp of the guards from the city, it was already night, but the courtyard was brightly lit, and it was still bustling and noisy. The soldiers gathered in groups and threes to talk about tonight's battle. Tian Hong was surrounded by a large group of soldiers, talking with his back to him. Xiaobi sat on the threshold with a smile and listened with relish.

Wu Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the matter of the little princess was perfectly resolved. Not only Xiaobi, but even himself let go of the boulder in his heart. If he succeeds in rescuing the princess this time, then he will have an explanation for the prince who is separated by yin and yang.

At this time, Tian Hongzheng was blowing on Xing's head, and there was no more door on his mouth. Most of the soldiers around him were Suzaku soldiers, and they didn't know the battle situation on the right side of the castle tower, and they were stunned by him. He cleared his throat: "At that time, I saw that the situation was critical, and one rushed and killed five people in a row. Rushing over to see that the commander had already escorted Sun Dudu to retreat from the left. And Xiahou Tian's dead boy led people to chase after him. I was anxious and shouted: 'Xiahoutian, come and drink grandpa's footwashing water'. The boy heard me coming, and he was so panicked that he climbed down the wall and ran, and there was nothing else to worry about. ”

At this point, he stopped, grabbed the wine bag beside him and took a sip. A soldier opposite him happened to be from the Xuanwu team, and when he saw Wu Ming arrive, he immediately had the idea of teasing. Blinked his eyes and smiled: "Lord Tian, I heard you say this, tonight's battle, success or failure is tied to you?" ”

Tian Hong put down the wine bag and said with a smile: "That's natural, he Xiahou Tian was in Kyoto before, and he and I were life and death rivals, and when he saw me, he only had to hug my head and run around." ”

These words have already indirectly acknowledged the compliment of the warrior just now. The warrior stood up and saluted Wu Ming, who had already walked behind Tian Hong: "Lord Commander." As soon as he said this, Tian Hong had already scrambling up from the ground, turned around and said, "My lord, this, that ......."

Wu Ming couldn't cry or laugh, sighed and said: "Today's events are nothing to brag about, didn't we also sacrifice our two brothers?" Let's go and rest. As soon as he spoke, the faces of all the warriors darkened. Tian Hong's cowhide had already been blown up, and after listening to Wu Ming's words, his interest in speaking had disappeared cleanly. "Hey", scratched his head, and the soldiers scattered by themselves.

When these soldiers had walked far, Wu Ming walked to Xiao Bi, who was sitting on the threshold, and said, "It's so late, why don't you go to sleep?" Xiaobi shook her head and said, "I can't sleep." Then Wan Er smiled and said: "Uncle, Lord Tian is quite interesting, obviously fake, and it is the same as the real thing." ”

As she spoke, she stood up, looked at Wu Ming, and suddenly exclaimed, "Uncle, you have shed so much blood?" "Wu Ming's two wounds were both wounded to the back, so from the front you could only see other people splashing blood. And when you get closer, you can find that there is a red behind you. He shook his head and said, "It's okay, change it, and then take some medicine, it's no big deal." ”

Xiaobi hurriedly said: "Then you wait, I'll go find you a change of clothes." ”

I washed my body in the bathhouse, and I felt that my whole body was much lighter. When he came out of it after changing his clothes, Sun Yunlong had already sent a military doctor. I was standing in the courtyard waiting.

It is said that it is a military doctor, and it is estimated that it is rare to treat knife wounds in ordinary times, and the action is much more rusty than the medical officers of the Southern Expeditionary Army in the past, and the two wounds tossed for a long time before they got better. Wu Ming couldn't help but think of Hu Yong, but the old military doctor would never see him again.

By the time the man had bandaged his two wounds, it was already dark. Wu Ming said suddenly: "This gentleman, can you prepare some painkiller powder for me." The medic replied, "Yes, my lord." As he spoke, he pulled out a pack from the medical kit and handed it to him. After hesitating, he persuaded: "This thing can be used internally and externally, but if there is nothing important for adults, this thing is still used sparingly, and it will damage the nerves." ”

Wu Ming has known the shortcomings of this thing for a long time, but in order to rescue Xuanyuan Ling, he can't care so much. He took the powder into his arms and said with a smile, "Thank you." The military doctor waved his hand and stammered, "My lord, if you don't think I'm clumsy, thank me for not needing." ”

At this time, someone at the door said, "Is Lord Wu here?" ”

That's Sun Yunlong's voice, he has news so soon? This somewhat surprised Wu Ming. He stood up and said, "Governor Sun, please come in quickly." ”

Sun Yunlong changed into a dry suit, followed by an old man dressed in ordinary people's clothes. The military doctor and Xiao Bi next to him stood up at the same time, and saluted respectfully, "Lord Dudu." ”

Sun Yunlong said: "The two of you don't need to be polite. Then he said to the military doctor and Yan Yuese: "How is it, is Lord Wu's injury important?" The military doctor lowered his head and replied respectfully: "There is nothing serious, just excessive bleeding and excessive fatigue, and it will be fine when you rest." Sun Yunlong breathed a sigh of relief.

He nodded and said, "It's none of your business here, you can go down first." The medic saluted the two men again, and then withdrew. Seeing this, Xiaobi also bowed to Wu Ming, and was about to go back to the room to avoid it, Wu Ming grabbed her and said, "Don't leave yet, the matter discussed with Sun Dudu today is about the princess, so you can stay here." ”

Xiaobi's eyes suddenly flashed with surprise, and she exclaimed, "Uncle, do you have news of the princess?" ”

Wu Ming nodded: "I'm not sure yet, just wait for news from Sun Dudu." ”

In the past few days, because she has been busy with the little princess's affairs, Xiaobi has rarely mentioned Xuanyuan Ling. But whenever the little princess fell asleep, Wu Ming always saw her staring at the gray window in a daze. Whenever he saw her looking at his hopeful eyes, Wu Ming's heart couldn't help but tremble. knew that although the little girl didn't say anything, the idea of looking for the princess never fell for a moment, but she knew that she was also anxious, and it was not good to add to the chaos.

Now that there is news of Xuanyuan Ling, no matter what, you shouldn't hide it from this little girl. Although this is a bit of a rudeness, it can't be controlled so much.

Sun Yunlong didn't take Wu Ming seriously in this matter, so he found a bench and sat down by himself, pointing to the old man behind him and said, "Lord Wu, this is Lao Jin, and he used to buy many of the daily expenses of Fenglin Mountain Adult Xuan. He should be very familiar with the layout inside, so you can ask him if there is anything. ”

The old gold's hands were rough and thick with calluses, and he knew at a glance that he was a long-term worker. Sun Yunlong has only recently officially fallen to the side of Jiangnan, and he used to be at least the governor of one of the four northern provinces. The daily use of this adult Xuan definitely needs to be taken care of by him, and it is naturally not surprising that he can find this old gold.

Lao Jin looked to be in his fifties, and after listening to Sun Yunlong's introduction, he stood up and saluted Wu Mingshen and said, "The grass people have seen the Lord Commander. "He probably often sees these dignitaries, although he is still respectful to Wu Ming, but he lacks the restraint of ordinary people. Wu Ming hurriedly replied: "Thank you Jin Lao, I still have to work hard for Jin Lao at this time, which makes the kid feel uneasy." ”

Sun Yunlong clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's get down to business." Lord Wu, according to what Jin Lao said, in July and August last year, a mysterious person was imprisoned, and he didn't know who it was. This is just a message from the kitchen staff. In terms of timing, it coincides with the time of the princess's disappearance. In my opinion, this matter is not far from eight ~ nine. ”

Xiaobi hurriedly said on the side: "That's right, that's right, the princess disappeared in mid-July last year." ”

Sun Yunlong looked at her, shook his head and said, "Don't be anxious about this girl, it's not that simple to rescue the princess." It is heavily guarded, and there are about 1,000 people in the Zongren Mansion here, and there are many good warriors among them. And it is said that the inside has been redesigned by the Ministry of Industry, and there are many mechanisms inside. If you want to rescue the princess, it was easy to say some time ago, but now it is almost impossible. ”

"Why?"

Before he could finish speaking, Wu Ming and Xiaobi had already asked at the same time. Sun Yunlong glanced at the two of them, and a wry smile appeared on his face: "Lord Wu, when I came to look for you, the scouts had already come to report that Li Tie's army had surrounded the entire city. ”

Wu Ming's heart was shocked, the other party came so fast? Since Sun Yunlong said that it was surrounded by regiments, then the three sides of Hanshui must have at least been full of enemies. Now if you want to go to the west of the city, it will naturally be impossible. He couldn't help but regret it in his heart, if only he had asked Sun Yunlong about the whereabouts of the princess earlier. At that time, Hanshui was not in danger of besieging the city, and Sun Yunlong could also send troops to help rescue the princess, which was naturally extremely easy. But now Hanshui has been surrounded and impassable, and there are problems when you go out, let alone rescue.

Xiaobi hurriedly said: "What can I do then?" The princess of hard life. As he spoke, his eyes were already red.

Sun Yunlong glanced at her and said slowly: "It's not impossible to go to Fenglin Mountain, although the army in the north surrounded Hanshui, it didn't besiege ......"

"Not surrounded ......" His words were like a bolt of lightning flashing through his mind, Wu Ming suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Sun Dudu, do you mean that we are going from the waterway to Fenglin Mountain?" ”

Sun Yunlong nodded, and said with a smile in his eyes: "Exactly, Lord Wu is really smart. The only way to rescue the princess is to entrust Master Dai and let him carry you by water. ”

Wu Ming was surprised and delighted, and saluted: "Sun Dudu, your kindness, the kid is inscribed." When the princess returns from the predicament, let's talk about wine again when she returns to Hanshui. ”

"Thank me, I don't have to, once you rescue the princess, don't go back to Hanshui, let General Dai send you back to Jiangnan directly." This Han water can't be held for two days. ”

As he spoke, he stood up and looked at the distant city with infinite affection. At this time, the morning dawn is falling, the wall in the courtyard is not high, beyond the wall, you can still see the "Han" character at the head of the city in the wind weakly rolling the flag. And on the distant river, you can still faintly hear the faint calls of the people.

Wu Ming looked at Sun Yunlong and said secretly in his heart: "It seems that the resettlement project of Hanshui is nearing completion, and now the entire city has almost become an empty city. It seems that the retreat is only a matter of one or two days, otherwise Sun Yunlong would not let himself directly transfer to Jiangnan. ”
