Chapter 42: The Banner of the Clouds.
After Sha Qibo left, all that remained was to clean up the trivial matters of the battlefield, Yan Wangqing first let the injured brothers go for treatment, and those who were not injured helped to carry the wounded together and arrange the aftermath of the dead soldiers. Yan Wangqing found a carriage and put Sha Qihu on the carriage, Luo Qi looked at her puzzledly, then looked at the corpses of other wolf tooth soldiers, and handed over a puzzled look, Yan Wangqing smiled bitterly.
"He is kind to me, and now that he is dead, I want to bury him with my own hands, which can be regarded as a dream."
After speaking, he left Taiyuan City in a carriage, Liu Yuhao in the distance saw this scene and shook his head helplessly, it was the first time he had seen his eldest sister like this, but Sha Qihu did save her life, and it should be so. After leaving, Yan Wangqing went to Tingquan Village, and after she sent Sha Qihu, she said to the village chief.
"Help find someone and send him to the Medicine King Valley, with this token, I will pay the salary."
She handed the village chief a black token and a dozen taels of silver, and left in a hurry, without looking back, because in her heart, Taiyuan City still had something to do. Outside the Huaide Gate, there was a man kneeling on the ground, and behind him there were many soldiers in black armor, at this time Li Guangbi dropped all of them off their weapons, and everyone squatted together, so as not to lose people, and the man kneeling on the ground was Liu Xiao, who was originally going to ambush the Cangyun garrison of the Wolf Tooth Army in Chitang Pass.
"Liu Xiao, should you explain to me why you suddenly attacked Taiyuan City? Who are you instructed to? ”
After Yan Wangqing came back, the first thing was to deal with Liu Xiao, this matter was a big deal for her and for the entire Cangyun Army, they would never allow the mutineers to exist, Liu Xiao looked at the serious Yan Wangqing and the light eyebrow knife in her hand, and cringed for a while, and said.
"Vice Admiral Yan... Yes, that's right, we were originally ordered by you to ambush near Chitang Pass in order to fight the Wolf Tooth Army who wanted to bypass Huaide Gate, but we waited for a long time, only to hear news from Taiyuan City, saying that the Wolf Tooth Army had broken through Chaoxi Gate. In a hurry, for the safety of Vice General Yan and General Li, I had no choice but to attack Huaidemen, in order to enter the city as soon as possible to protect the general, you really wronged me, I was completely out of good intentions. ”
"Oh? Good intentions, yes? Then let me ask you, where did you get the news that Chaoxi Gate was broken, and how did you attack Huaide Gate without asking, let me ask you, have you ever asked the general who defended the city? ”
Liu Xiao swallowed his saliva and hurriedly said: "I was afraid that the general defending the city would lie, and he was a member of the Wolf Tooth Army, so I made my own opinion, really, Vice General Yan, you have to believe me." ”
Yan Wangqing smiled and held a flag in his hand, there was a very conspicuous big character "Cang" on the flag, this is the military flag of the Cangyun Army, and it is also their belief, Yan Wangqing pointed to the flag.
"You look up and see what this is, remember? We once swore under this banner together, do you know, you attacked Huaide Gate, so that General Li had to come to reinforce, more than a dozen of our Cangyun troops defended the Chaoxi Gate of Taiyuan City, four brothers died, and the defenders of Taiyuan City died 700 people, you looked at it with wide eyes, looked at the soldiers around you, you, Liu Xiao, are you worthy of the Cangyun banner, worthy of the Cangyun Army and the defenders of Taiyuan City? ”
"You are a person from Cangyun and a soldier of Datang, you have violated the duties and beliefs of a soldier, do you remember that oath? When the Cangyun banner sweeps, those who betray Cangyun must die! ”
Yan Wangqing held the light eyebrow knife in his hand, and before Liu Xiao could speak, he directly cut it off, when Liu Xiao's head flew in the air, his eyes were still staring in horror, but no matter what, he did something that he could not violate as a Cangyun army, there must be one death, and only one death. Yan Wangqing looked at the frightened Cangyun Army and said.
"You, aiding and abetting, should have the same fate as him, but I am willing to give you a chance, I will send someone to send you back to Yanmen Pass, in front of the first barrier of the Tang Dynasty, to charge into battle, and realize the value you should have as the Cangyun Army."
Yan Wangqing sighed and shook his head and returned to Taiyuan City. At this time, a few strangers came to Taiyuan City, three young people wore white coats with black pants and purple hems and patterned clothing, and each of them had a fluffy shawl, and there were two knives in the scabbard behind them, respectively, long knives and short knives.
However, decades ago, Liu Fenggu, the head of Badao Villa, suddenly went crazy, and Liu Jingtao, who was only a teenager, was looked down upon by the people of the rivers and lakes, thinking that he was just a child and not enough to achieve great things, so this Badao Villa began to gradually fade into the rivers and lakes, and only survived silently in the north. One of the three disciples was named Liu Mo, who seemed to be the son of Liu Jingtao's cousin, and behind the three of them was a little girl, who seemed to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old.
"You came to my Taiyuan City, I don't know what to see?"
Looking at the three disciples of Badao Villa, Li Guangbi took the lead in speaking, and Liu Mo pointed to the girl who came with him and said.
"It's all for her, my aunt rescued her in Chang'an City before her death, and her family was all killed by the rebels, but she was too young at that time for her aunt to take her, so she entrusted it to a farmer. Later, I heard that the farmer died, and she had been relying on begging for a living, and my aunt asked us to find her before she died, and took good care of her, so the fifth grandfather sent someone to look for her, and only recently found her, no, we plan to take her back to Badao Villa, passing through Taiyuan City, and seeing a mess outside the city, so we came to ask what happened. ”
Yan Wangqing looked at the girl, the latter's eyes brought her a very strange feeling, that kind of look, made her very uncomfortable, to be precise, it was like murderous, if she guessed correctly, this girl may have killed someone, but she is now disgraced, and some can't see her face clearly, but Yan Wangqing has been on the battlefield for a long time, and she will not be unfamiliar with this kind of look, and the feeling that this girl gives her is also an indescribable weirdness, but Yan Wangqing still stepped forward and combed her hair for her, and said.
"You men, you really don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, don't let her freshen up, good girl, make it look like this, and the climate of your Badao Villa is cold, why don't you add more clothes to her? By the way, girl, what's your name? ”。
The girl looked up at her, although Yan Wangqing had a Tianluo face, but it still gave her a little warmth, and she had not been cared for so much for a long time, the girl said cautiously.
"Xiaoman, my father and mother are gone, and I have only half a life left to support me, so I named myself Half Xiaoman."
