Section XI

This old thing is unruly, even if Wu Ming is a mud bodhisattva, he was scolded by him at this time, and his face couldn't help but sink, and he was about to say something. At this time, I heard Yu Zhaobin shouting on the other side: "Release the arrow!" ”

After the arrival of Wu Ming's Chinese army, Lan Ling led the army to assault, Feng Xianchun followed, without their central command, the fire-breathing boats fought separately, how could they withstand the surging offensive of the Southern Han naval army, the original iron barrel-like defensive formation, was also rushed by the Jiangnan naval army. After Yu Zhaobin occupied the flagship of Lan Ling, he rushed to the Kaishan and saw that Lan Ling threatened Wu Ming, so he was polite, and directly ordered the arrows to be released. This row of cold arrows shot out from behind, Feng Xianchun was leading more than a dozen people to resist, was shot into a hedgehog by a round of random arrows, and was killed by the arrow on the spot, and a group of soldiers were not spared, cutting leeks and falling down. Lan Ling's eyes were about to split, and suddenly an arrow hit his thigh, and he staggered to his knees, still scolding in his mouth: "Wu Ming, you bastard, don't you even have the courage to fight alone?" ”

The war had already ground Wu Ming's heart to a rock-like calm, so he naturally would not be excited, but when he saw the male lord of the Lan Ling generation, but he ended up like this, he couldn't bear it, and persuaded again: "And let go of the arrow slowly, Blue City Lord, I am virtuous and wise towards the Queen Mother, and I occupy the name of righteousness." Why do you want to make a mistake with Li Thief to the end, the so-called good birds choose trees to perch, why don't you join my court......"

Hit by an arrow in the thigh, Lan Ling couldn't even stand steadily, half-knelt on the deck, and said with a miserable smile: "When the countryman meets me, the countryman will repay him." Wu Hou, your name is Zhenyu, and you are also a layman. Manly man, do something and don't do anything, my organ city is deeply favored by the captain, so that I can survive in the world, if I serve you, even if there are thousands of reasons, it is inevitable that people will be cold. ”

Speaking of this, he looked up to the sky and smiled: "I think that my Lan Ling was brave and died on the river in the end, which is also deserved." ”

As soon as he heard him say this, the pro-soldier Nian Shun and Bai Lan stepped forward at the same time and cried, "Master can't." ”

Lan Ling looked at Wu Ming and said, "Wu Hou, I hope you don't embarrass my family......

Wu Ming still persuaded himself: "Don't worry, Lord of the Blue City, as long as you take refuge in my court, I can assure you that the city of the organ will maintain its autonomy as always......

He was about to say something more, but Lan Ling had already shouted, "No need, Wu Hou, you can take care of it." The dagger in his right hand was thrown at Wu Ming fiercely. But Wu Ming was surrounded by personal guards, and under Lan Ling's long-term battle, coupled with excessive blood loss, he was already weak, and the speed of the dagger was greatly reduced, how could he be hit? Without Wu Ming's move, Esther next to her scolded coquettishly, turned her graceful body, and took the dagger with her bare hands.

Lan Ling didn't intend to succeed in this blow, but after throwing this blow, he aimed the dagger in his left hand at his heart, and said with a miserable smile: "Destiny is a return, not a crime of war." Wu Ming, today I once again fulfill your invincible name! With that, he stabbed himself in the heart.

He committed suicide like this, even Yu Zhaobin was moved, Wu Ming was stunned for a long time, and then sighed: "Take him away well." "Lan Ling is murderous, lustful, and has a bad reputation to the outside world, but the other party is so promised, Wu Ming unconsciously has respect for him. At this time, the pro-soldier Nian Shun cried: "Master, I'm here to accompany you." ”

After speaking, he ignored everyone and wiped his neck with a knife. Only Bai Lan squatted there alone, looking at everyone with a pale face.

The surname Bai is a big surname near the organ city, Bai Lan has been smart since she was a child, and her father has a small savings. When she was very young, she was sent to the Holy Land to learn martial arts, although her martial arts were not successful, but her personality was tempered to be no different from a man. She hates being close to men and prefers to socialize with girls.

As early as when Cangsong Pavilion was learning art, she and her junior sister Qianzi formed a mirror grinding friendship. After returning to the organ city, he was even more disdainful of all men, so he was in his early twenties, and there was still no object. Her father was immediately anxious and introduced several marriages to her, all of which ended due to Bai Lan's deliberate sabotage, until he met Lan Ling.

Lan Ling saw Bai Lan during a tour of the market, although he was lustful, but a group of wives and concubines were submissive to him, and he was already boring and tight, Bai Lanhuo Pepper's personality made him refreshed, and he was shocked at first sight, and decided to marry him as a concubine on the spot. The latter was forced by his parents to be anxious about marriage, and when he heard that Lan Ling was willing to marry her, he was not surprised and happy, and immediately agreed. After his father got the news, even though he was reluctant in his heart, he couldn't do anything about it under the power of the blue spirit. had to push the boat down the river and answer the marriage for her daughter. After marrying Lan Ling, Qianzi traveled thousands of miles to the city to find Bai Lan, and after the two discussed, in order to facilitate their reunion, she decided to marry Lan Ling as a concubine like Bai Lan.

When Qian Ziqiao stood in front of Lan Ling and said this request, Lan Ling was almost suspicious of his dream. In these years, there are thousands of charming girls who take the initiative to ask to be concubines? If Bai Lan is more generous, then Qianzi is more like a girl, quiet and quiet, both young and beautiful, and Lan Ling has no reason to be unacceptable. So, at the end of the fifth year of the Han Dynasty Fuxing, the lord of Landa City came to the door with double happiness and married two concubines in a row.

With such a complicated relationship between Bai Lan and Lan Ling, it is impossible for him to die for Lan Ling. But seeing a group of Southern Han soldiers staring at her fiercely, Bai Lan was very worried, she squatted next to Lan Ling's corpse, at a loss for a while, just dazed. She acted like this, but it reminded Yu Zhaobin of the dead Mei Ji, and she couldn't bear it in her heart, so she walked up to Wu Ming and said: "Wu Hou, the Blue City Lord is also a good man, and when he is dying, he wants me to treat his family well, in my opinion, it is better to spare this woman." ”

He shouted and shouted to kill just now, and he was the one who screamed the most. At this time, he pleaded in turn, Wu Ming couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "What, could it be that General Yu has taken a fancy to her?"

Yu Zhaobin's face was hot, knowing that Wu Ming had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "No, it's not like this......"

Seeing him like this, Wu Ming also understood that he had misunderstood, and sighed and said: "General Yu, people can't be resurrected after death, and there are some things that it is better to put them down at the right time." ”

The two of them were in ink, Lu Fang couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward and said, "Hey, this girl is good, if you don't want it, I, Lu Fang, will accept it as a wife." ”

Judging by her age, Bai Lan is probably older than Lu Fang, this kid screamed one by one, but he didn't feel a little uncomfortable. However, he can even call Liu Ze a brat, and it is normal to call Bai Lan like this.

Lan Lingxin mourned, Wu Ming felt sorry in his heart, but when he heard Lu Fang say this, he still couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help but say: "It's okay, Lu Shilang is in need of a wife, and it is best to pull him back to be a lady in the village." ”

After all, Bai Lan is Lan Ling's concubine, and as a waiter in the Ministry of Labor of Lu Fang, the two seem to be a little unworthy, but Lu Fang can't be humane, so that's another matter. If the normal procedure is followed, Bai Lan's fate is estimated to be not much better than Mei Ji, and the biggest possibility is to become an official prostitute and become a plaything among men. Although Lu Fang is inhumane, he is a waiter of the Ministry of Works, and Bai Lan has really become Mrs. Lu, at least much more glamorous, and his fate is many times better. From this point of view, it seems that Bai Lan followed Lu Fang, which is the best way out. Wu Ming thought for a while and added: "But this woman is a member of Lan Ling's family after all, and she has to report a letter to her mother before she can give it to Lu Shilang as a companion." ”

The prime minister's experience is that Wu Ming is now afraid of being too arrogant and causing the queen mother to be dissatisfied, so he does everything he says and does, and he does not follow the etiquette system. As one of the trophies, Bai Lan has to be reported to the Queen Mother. However, after the hot air balloon came out, Lu Fang's status climbed again, and Niang Niang would never offend Lu Fang for a woman, so this was just a passing scene.

Lu Fang nodded, and said with a big grin: "It's okay, then tell the Queen Mother first." As he spoke, he had already walked up to Bai Lan, stretched out his hand to pull her up and said, "Okay, don't cry, you will be my person in the future, who dares to touch the woman of my Ministry of Works, Lao Tzu is not finished with him." ”

He said this very proudly, but there is no doubt that he is a man, but Bai Lan is frowning, and he wants to pull his hand away, but he is afraid of angering the other party, although this kid does not know martial arts, but he is surrounded by Chinese and Western soldiers with fierce faces, once he offends Lu Fang, the consequences are unimaginable. But when she thought that Lan Ling had just died, and she had to endure the torture of another man every day, and she had to be on the other side of Qian Zitian, she was very reluctant in her heart, and she was not embarrassed for a while.

Wu Ming didn't know that there were so many circles in her heart, and shouted: "Clean up the battlefield immediately, and report to the imperial court at the same time." Early tomorrow morning, the class teacher will return to the court. ”

Because the army was in urgent need of rest after a major battle, even if it was very close to Nanning, Wu Ming did not choose to rush immediately, but ordered all the sailors to set up camp tents along the coast. By the time the meal was finished, it was already midnight, but the south bank of the river was still full of laughter and laughter, and the light of the torches reflected the sky and the earth as straight as day. Wu Ming took Esther's hand and went all the way to the Chinese military tent, looking at her yawning appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed: "Look, tell you not to follow, you don't listen, now you know that the battlefield is not easy." ”

Esther wrinkled her nose and said, "I hate it, it's not like I haven't seen a war." Brother Amin is always a mother-in-law, but it is worth it to be able to follow you all the time, even if you are tired. ”

She thought for a moment, and then said, "Brother Aming, that Lan Ling's concubine today is a little abnormal. ”

Wu Ming was stunned: "Something abnormal? How do you say that? ”

"After the Blue City Lord died, it seems that she is not as sad as she seems."

Wu Ming laughed and couldn't help but say, "Fool, is it normal to really have to be martyred?" Although there are countless mandarin ducks in the world, there are a few people who can really reach the point of life and death. What's more, Bai Lan is just a concubine of Lan Ling after all. It is said that Lan Ling can have eighteen wives and concubines, and after the separation, the relationship will be thin. ”

Esther gave him a blank look: "You men don't have a good thing." ”

Thinking that he was now also a four-room wife and concubine, Wu Ming couldn't help but be embarrassed, but fortunately, Esther didn't stalk him, shook his head and continued: "No, no, Bai Lan looked at the Blue City Lord and Lu Shilang's eyes were wrong. ”

Esther looks very aggressive, but in fact she is very delicate. Wu Ming also became interested: "What's wrong there?" ”

Esther tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Well, I can't tell, anyway, it shouldn't be a woman's eyes looking at a man." ”

Seeing her so messing around, Wu Ming couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Don't worry about it, although Bailan is not as beautiful as Xiao Ai, she is also a charming beauty, why is she not a woman?" ”

If it was in the past, Esther was happy to be praised by Wu Ming so much, but today she didn't realize it, she still tilted her head and looked at Wu Ming and said: "Brother Aming, Bai Lan is a fourth-stage martial artist, although it is not enough in our eyes, but Lu Shilang has no power to restrain the chicken, if she really has evil intentions, Lu Shilang is very dangerous." ”

That's a problem. Wu Ming thought for a while and said: "Xiao Ai is reasonable, otherwise, tomorrow I will invite Lu Shilang to take Bai Lan to the Kaishan together, let's return to the dynasty together, first, we can prevent accidents, and second, you can also see if this Bailan is really a problem." If it's really as you said, you can't let Lu Shilang be with him. ”

Esther nodded, "That's exactly how it should be." ”
