Chapter 169: Lin Liang secretly followed
"Good! That Zhang Aiqing and Li Aiqing assisted as the left and right pioneers! This time against the Moon Worship Country, we must only win, not lose! ”
"Yes. The ministers will not fail in their mission! ”
The fifth prince and the thirteenth prince looked at each other, but they didn't expect this to come so suddenly, but it was actually decided by Duan Ling and the two generals in a few words.
However, no matter how much they hated Duan Ling, when facing the national crisis, they could only put aside their personal grievances for the time being.
After the matter of the Moon Worship Kingdom is settled, he will definitely have to compete with Duan Ling.
That night, Duan Ling stayed in the Taiji Hall for a long time.
The emperor even walked down from the dragon throne himself and patted Duan Ling on the shoulder.
"Over the years, you have fought bloody battles on the battlefield, and I have seen all this."
"As a member of the dynasty, it is right for the sons to protect the people of Li and maintain the territorial integrity of the dynasty." Duan Ling was very modest.
"Yes, if all the soldiers think like you, then I can keep it worry-free for a hundred years." The Emperor was particularly pleased.
At least this son's performance over the years has made him extremely satisfied.
"This time, in addition to the 100,000 troops I sent to you, you can bring some of your own men and horses. If you do well this time, you will be rewarded when you come back. ”
"Erchen knows, thank you father."
After Duan Ling discussed some more detailed plans for the battle with the emperor, he left the Taiji Palace.
Watching the people leave, the confidant eunuch who grew up with the emperor since he was a child gave the emperor a snow-capped mountain cloud.
"Your Majesty, you have a deeper consideration for letting the King of Nanping send troops to worship the Moon Country this time, right?"
"Over the years, you are the only one who can see my mind most clearly."
The emperor took a sip of tea slowly: "Don't think that I didn't see the fight between them, but Lao Qi is indeed a person who can be supported." At least the prestige in the army is not comparable between the five princes and the thirteen princes. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty is far-sighted."
"After all, my country really needs a person who is extremely good at Wen Tao and Wu to inherit it." The Emperor let out a long sigh.
After all, now that the sons are gradually becoming adults, the prince, if he can't make any more achievements, this son will have to be replaced.
However, the emperor did not care who sat in that seat.
What he cared about was whether that person's performance would satisfy him.
……
Duan Ling's 100,000 military horses mobilized by the emperor's side were already ready to go.
Duan Ling was wearing a military uniform that day, with a mask on his head and a black iron armor, shining in the sun.
"Sons, in order to maintain the dynasty, rush!"
The sword in Duan Ling's hand pointed to the sky, and slashed down fiercely, and the soldiers below immediately boiled with blood.
"For the sake of the dynasty, rush!"
Then, the mighty army of 100,000 people was behind Duan Ling and headed towards the border of the dynasty.
"Princess, do you really want to keep up with the prince's team?"
Yuzhu still followed Lin Liang's side, not leaving Lin Liang's side for a moment.
At this moment, Lin Liang changed into the armor worn by a soldier and quietly followed behind Duan Ling's team.
"Of course I'm going, how can I rest assured that he will go alone, if you regret it a little, then go back first, I will definitely come back with the prince at that time."
"How can that work? Before, the prince arranged for me to follow the princess all the time, and I will go wherever the princess goes. ”
Yuzhu gritted his teeth and changed into the clothes worn by soldiers like Lin Liang.
It's just that the two of them are a little shorter, but fortunately they can sit on the horse, and they can't be seen very much.
However, Duan Ling's sharpness still exceeded Lin Liang's expectations.
In the evening, I camped on a wide road and rested.
Duan Ling always felt that there was a gaze falling on him, and that gaze was too similar to Liang'er's, and following the feeling in his heart, Duan Ling walked in front of Lin Liang.
Seeing at a glance that face that was still very familiar after being retouched, Duan Ling suddenly had a headache.
Pulling Lin Liang's wrist, he dragged the person to a secret place: "Why did you come quietly behind my back?" ”
"You're going out to face the Moon Worship Country, you let me stay alone in the mansion, how can you rest assured, just let me follow you, okay?"
Lin Liang smiled flatteringly and pulled Duan Ling's cuffs.
"Not this time, you haven't experienced how dangerous the battlefield is, I'll arrange for someone to send you back."
Lin Liang was stubborn this time: "Even if you send me back, I will find a way to run over!" ”
"That's not up to you!" Duan Ling was a little angry, but he was more concerned about Lin Liang.
That night, Duan Ling sent two henchmen to escort Lin Liang back.
However, Lin Liang really made up her mind this time, relying on the few subordinates who Duan Ling had left her before who were very obedient to her, and followed her again several times in succession when Duan Ling asked her to send her back to the mansion.
After following them so many times in a row, Duan Ling was also afraid that the road they were traveling was already far away, so he sent Lin Liang back again, worried about the danger on the road, so he had to take people with him.
However, in the hearts of soldiers, Duan Ling has always been an existence that uses soldiers like a god and is extremely indifferent.
Suddenly, a small soldier got so close to him that many people talked about it.
"You say, the one who followed our prince could be the princess? I saw them eating and living together, and they lived in the same tent. ”
"Who's to say it isn't? But this prince and princess are too willful, how can they take a woman on the battlefield? ”
Lin Liang was a little stubborn, but Duan Ling was also afraid that she would be injured, so he didn't shy away from these people these days, and they all lived in the same tent.
However, looking at these in the eyes of the soldiers, he felt that it was a little difficult to understand, and Duan Ling didn't take these things very seriously.
But unexpectedly, these rumors about him and Lin Liang are getting stronger and stronger.
Until he reached a river valley, Duan Ling settled Lin Liang in a tent and ran to fetch water with his cronies.
Unexpectedly, when he came back, all Duan Ling heard was all kinds of discussions about Lin Liang by his soldiers, and even some unbearable remarks were mixed in there.
Duan Ling immediately became angry, put the water in his hand heavily on the ground, and ordered his subordinates.
"Someone! Catch the tongues that were too long before for this king! ”
Duan Ling gave an order, and the henchmen who followed him immediately grabbed the few tongue-chewing people.
