Chapter 479: Reprimand
As soon as these words came out, not only the sad face of the Tan Rong soldiers was stunned, but even Wei Heng and Chi An couldn't react immediately for a while.
The two of them were at a glance, and they both saw the blankness in each other's eyes.
That's not how the battle is fought, shouldn't you take advantage of the situation when you defeat the opponent and lose everything?
Why do you have to warn them to stay away from this city in the future, if they don't come to stir up trouble, then when will this battle really be fought?
And looking at the little lady's appearance, she really plans to let this person go back to ventilate and report the news.
Chi An was about to say something to admonish, but before he could speak, Shi Xia suddenly raised his hand and signaled him to shut up.
Seeing this, Chi An had no choice but to suppress the doubts in his heart.
At this time, the eyes of the soldiers who had found a glimmer of life in a desperate situation were exposed, and they almost couldn't wait to look at the 'merciful' Shixia in front of them, and asked anxiously: "Is this true?" ”
Hearing this, when he saw the fear in the eyes of the soldiers of the Tan Rong soldiers, Shi Xia suppressed the disdain in his heart, raised his eyebrows and replied: "Of course it is true, what Mrs. Ben said can still be counted in this deserted city." ”
At this time, the soldiers responded almost as quickly as possible: "When I go back, I will definitely tell our king the truth what my wife said." ”
When he said this, Rong Bing's eyes flashed with other lights.
It's one thing to come down now, but it's another thing to be able to abide by this sentence and stay away from this deserted city when the time comes.
Thinking about it, the ruthless color appeared in Rong Bing's heart.
The reason why they planted it thoroughly this time was because they didn't know the situation of this city at all, and they didn't know how many soldiers there were, so they ended up with 300 against 1,000 soldiers and returned with a crushing defeat.
When he returned, he relayed the situation of the city to the king, who believed that with his power, he would never let hundreds of his brothers die in vain.
After the words fell, the gate of the deserted city opened again, and under the hateful gaze of hundreds of soldiers, the soldiers swaggered out.
When he went out, he didn't dare to look at the hundreds of corpses lying on the ground, and he endured the numbness of his scalp and grabbed a horse beside him.
The whip fell high, and in an instant, only a scream was heard from the horse, and then immediately let go of the hooves and ran.
In a short time, the man and the horse turned into a small black dot in everyone's sight, and finally disappeared completely.
Before the blood stains on Wei Heng's face standing on the city wall were wiped off, he began to question Shi Xia, and there was irrepressible anger in his tone: "Why did you let him go, do you know that in this battle, our Yan army lost dozens of soldiers!" ”
In the end, it is a group of untrained soldiers, in the face of brave and ruthless barbarian soldiers, even if there is absolute suppression in numbers, there will still be casualties when they start.
Hearing Wei Heng's accusation, Shi Xia raised his head sideways and glanced at the blood stains on his face, and a sharp flash flashed in his eyes, and he scolded sharply: "Instead of questioning me here, General Wei should reflect on why a thousand soldiers still need to pay such a big price to win against the three hundred soldiers of the Master's family!" ”
Suddenly, Wei Heng's complexion changed suddenly, and he looked at Shi Xia with a gaze that almost swallowed her: "You ......"
Shi Xia took a deep breath, suppressed the impatience welling up in his heart, and said as calmly as possible: "No matter what General Wei Xiao wants to say, he shouldn't tell me here. ”
When he said this, Shi Xia paused, and in the face of the anger in Wei Heng's eyes, the cold light in his eyes almost overflowed.
"If General Wei has doubts about my decision, go and tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that I am the concubine of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and a servant of the royal family, and only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can reprimand me in this deserted city."
The implication of this statement is very obvious.
No matter what Shi Xia did, Wei Heng, as a foreign general, had no right to discipline the concubines for the prince of the East Palace of the Jin Kingdom.
Hearing this, Wei Heng relied on an unconvinced anger, fiercely broke free from Chi An's obstruction, drove the horse to the outside of the city lord's mansion, and broke in regardless of the porter's court.
Behind him, Chi An, who was one step slower than him, walked side by side with Shi Xia.
Seeing the angry voice in front of him, Chi An, who was afraid of colliding with His Royal Highness the Prince, frowned tightly, and unconsciously complained a little in his voice.
"Why should the little lady bother with a fledgling little hairy head, if this makes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince unhappy, you and I can't bear the responsibility."
"It's the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Hearing this, Shi Xia sneered, obviously his steps were not slow, but his tone was careless: "Don't worry, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the most sensible, and he will never involve anyone." ”
Chi An, who didn't take this to heart, continued to chatter: "That being said, I still don't feel at ease in my heart, after all, it's the prince." ”
While they were talking, several people had already arrived at the main courtyard.
Because the secret guard in front of the far gate blocked for a while, when Shi Xia and Chi An arrived, Wei Heng would step in.
Seeing this, the two of them invariably breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed.
The city lord's mansion in the deserted city is naturally not as exquisite as the mansion in Shangjing, even if it is a small courtyard, it also reveals a sense of desolation and desolation, only the people who are sitting in the stone pavilion in the courtyard are reading books, only the scenery in front of them adds a bit of popularity.
Seeing this scene, the three of them unconsciously slowed down their pace and subconsciously held their breath.
Until Qi Changrong found them, he rolled up the book in his hand and put it aside, and took the initiative to ask, "It's over?" ”
"It's over."
After answering, Shi Xia first came back to his senses from the picturesque scene, walked to the stone pavilion and stretched out his hand to probe the temperature of the teapot, and smiled softly: "This tea is cold, go make another pot of slaves." ”
With that, she lifted the teapot and left after blessing Qi Changrong.
Seeing this, Qi Changrong did not stop him, but looked at Chi An, who was a little hesitant, and reminded with a chuckle: "Since the fight is over, General Chi should go and do business, and the soldiers are still waiting in the kitchen." ”
Five thousand Jin soldiers have to make five thousand moon cakes in at least one day, which is really a big project.
Hearing this, Chi An was pardoned, and after answering, he hurriedly turned around and walked without a pause in the middle, as if a ghost was chasing behind him.
Seeing that Chi An seemed to be running for his life, Qi Changrong raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't say anything more.
At this time, there was still a person outside the stone pavilion.
Wei Heng.
Maybe it's just coming down from the battlefield, even a very small battlefield, it gives people a feeling of being in the dust.
Not to mention the dried blood on his face.
"General Wei Xiao still has something to do?"
"Yes." Wei Heng's voice was a little stiff.
Finally did a good job of psychological construction, he took a deep breath, stood in front of Qi Changrong with a big sword, subconsciously put his hand on the hilt of the knife, and asked with a tight chin:
"In today's battle, all 300 soldiers should have been annihilated, but in the end, His Royal Highness the Prince's concubine let go of one person without authorization, and let that person return to the clan to report the news, this is to disturb the morale of the army, what should be the crime of disturbing the morale of the army in the army, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be clear."
These words can be described as heart-wrenching.
The battlefield is the most taboo to disturb the morale of the army, if someone really dares to commit a crime against the wind, it will be difficult to escape death in the end.
And Wei Heng whispered softly, and gave Shi Xia a hat that would die.
In an instant, the smile on Qi Changrong's lips faded, and he asked unhurriedly: "Does General Wei Xiao know what crime should be committed for framing him?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Wei Heng immediately became nervous, not only for the dozens of people who died in the battle, but also for the current situation.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is planning to protect his own woman?"
"Shi Xia has never been guilty, so how can he talk about covering up?"
Qi Changrong stroked his long sleeves, sat upright and said lightly: "From the time I entered the hospital to the present, General Wei Xiao has only spoken two sentences, one is to accuse Shi Xia of being guilty, and the other is to accuse Gu of harboring the guilty.
But Gu wanted to ask, before General Wei Xiao accused Lone's woman of guilt, did he ask Lone, did she do it without authorization to let go of Rong Bing? ”
As soon as these words came out, Wei Heng didn't hear the meaning of Qi Changrong's words at all, and said without thinking: "Why do you ask the obvious facts, this is what I saw with my own eyes, that is, she let go of the Rong soldiers, and also explained that the Rong soldiers will make a detour to this city in the future." ”
Speaking of this, the anger in Wei Heng's heart continued unabated.
And after hearing these words, Qi Changrong felt a rare feeling of pity in his heart - pity for Wei Heng's stupidity.
She had already said it so clearly, but the little general still didn't hear it.
Today, the reason why Shi Xia let go of the last soldier was all because of her order.
Qi Changrong shook his head, and the anger caused by his subordinates being deliberately harshly reprimanded faded a little.
At this moment, Shi Xia came with a pot of hot tea, and gently poured a full cup for Qi Changrong.
Seeing someone coming, Wei Heng seemed to have caught some handle, stretched out his hand and pointed at Shi Xia and said: "If His Royal Highness Prince Changrong doesn't believe it, you can immediately let her confront me, I can prove that there is no half of a lie in my words." ”
"No need."
Qi Changrong picked up the teacup, and his white fingertips slowly rubbed the pattern on the teacup: "Lone believes that General Wei Xiao is not lying, and Lone also believes that Shi Xia did not make a mistake." ”
As soon as the words fell, Wei Heng immediately wanted to refute, but Qi Changrong didn't give him a chance to refute, and said slowly: "Because what Shi Xia did came from Lone's orders." ”
"Letting the soldiers go back to ventilate and report the news is a lonely confession."
It wasn't until the mystery was finally revealed that Qi Changrong looked at Wei Heng thoughtfully, ignoring his stiff expression, and asked with a little curiosity: "For this reason, didn't General Wei Xiao never think of it?" ”
What a simple thing.
No matter how favored Shi Xia is, to others, she is just a concubine in the East Palace, and since she is a concubine who can't be on the stage, how dare she make important decisions without authorization?
At this time, Qi Changrong asked again: "Could it be that because General Wei Xiao fell into great sorrow, he selectively ignored the innocence of Shi Xia?" ”
