Chapter 165: The People Are Innocent
The black-robed man looked straight at the King of Linzi, "When the judgment continues, its intentions are chaotic, but the prince must think clearly!" ”
The king of Linzi also showed a firm look in his eyes, and said: "Don't hide it, sir, this king also has this intention!" Among the king's coalition army, only the strength of the king of Anyang can compete with the king, and the other people are also looking forward to him, as long as this person is removed, the other people will naturally obediently listen to the king's words! ”
It didn't take long for the matter to see King Anyang hurriedly come to the military tent of King Linzi with a few princes, and the black-robed man went down first. The king of Linzi sat on the top, and looked at the few people who came with a faint gaze, "The king of Anyang is menacing, I don't know what's going on?" ”
King Anyang looked at King Linzi angrily, "Why did you suddenly withdraw your troops, isn't the battle situation very good?" ”
The King of Linzi smiled and said, "Didn't the King of Anyang and several princes say that the grain and grass were burned a few days ago, and they want to retire and go back, intending to make a comeback?" After thinking about it carefully, I felt that what a few people said made sense, so he decided to withdraw the army, how about it! ”
King Anyang blew his beard angrily and stared, but he couldn't say anything to refute, so he patted his chest and shouted: "These thirty people and horses are not from your Linzi family, have you discussed with us before withdrawing the army?" ”
King Linzi smiled faintly, "Since this king is the commander-in-chief, these things are naturally decided by this king, besides, it's just a temporary retreat of thirty miles!" He looked at several princes with heavy eyes, and said: "It's not a secret, the water source of the military camp has been poisoned, and there have been many people in the army who have been poisoned. ”
Regarding the poisoning of people in the army, although I have heard about it, after the king of Linzi said it, he also faintly felt the seriousness of the matter, but he was unhappy that he did not say a word about such a decision.
The king of Anyang had nothing to say, so he retreated again. I saw that the murderous aura in the eyes of King Linzi behind him became more and more intense.
Out of the tent, several people surrounded King Anyang and asked, "What is good now, we can't withdraw our troops?" ”
King Anyang sneered: "Why don't you withdraw?" Is it sitting here and waiting to die? If he really ascends the throne as the emperor in the future, he will already offend him, so it is better to start first!
Inside Jiayu Pass.
"Withdrawn?" Huangfu Shaohua frowned, puzzled, "Why did you suddenly withdraw your troops?" ”
Zhao Ling's eyes flashed, the corners of his mouth twitched, he glanced at Huangfu Shaohua, and said with a smile: "It's here!" ”
"Coming? Who's coming? His tone paused, and he smiled incomprehensibly, "This old guy gave us a surprise as soon as he came!" ”
The spies sent out also came back one after another, Zhao Ling's face gradually became solemn when he heard this, and his smile gradually cooled, "This old guy is ruthless, that water source is not only drunk by the army of King Linzi, but also tens of thousands of ordinary people in Xiayuan also rely on this water, how can he call those people good?" ”
Huangfu Shaohua smiled lightly, "Those who achieve great things are not informal, and it is inevitable to make some sacrifices appropriately!" ”
"Sections?" Zhao Ling raised his eyebrows and smiled sarcastically, "That's the lives of tens of thousands of people in my Daxiang are just a small sacrifice in your eyes?" ”
Huangfu Shaohua spread his hands and said with a smile: "What are you angry at me, it's not me who threw poison!" It's just that now, it's useless if you're struggling, why don't you think about the next tactics, how can you take advantage of the victory to chase it! ”
Zhao Ling sighed heavily, glanced at Huangfu Shaohua, and the two of them compared the map and calculated the next battle.
When he returned to the courtyard, Zhao Ling's face was very bad. Murong Xun handed over the handkerchief and gave him a clean face, and when he saw that he was worried, he asked, "Isn't it that the anti-king has temporarily withdrawn his troops, why are you still like this?" ”
Zhao Ling took Murong Xun's hand and told Murong Xun about the matter.
Murong Xun frowned and said heavily: "One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, but the people are so innocent!" She looked at Zhao Ling and said, "Jiayuguan can't do without you, I'll just go downstream and see the situation there!" It's good to deal with it in time! ”
Zhao Ling immediately objected, "No, it's too dangerous!" ”
Murong Xun persuaded: "The rebels have withdrawn, and the people downstream are all ordinary people, where there will be danger, I will be careful myself, you can rest assured, if you don't take this trip, you won't be at ease, it's just that I'm not proficient in the method of detoxification, and the people under your command who can be proficient in poison can go with me?" ”
Zhao Ling frowned and thought for a while, and said: "When it comes to the art of healing poison, the Shangguan family can be said to be unique, but it can only be discussed in the Central Plains, and the methods used by the witch doctors of the Yue Clan are different from the common methods used in the Central Plains, but the effect is not far behind!" ”
Murong Xun lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and then said: "The last time you were stabbed by Bai Yi, Wu Po treated your injuries, and then a man in black came, and I heard Wu Po say that person is proficient in witch doctors!" ”
Zhao Ling smiled slightly, "This is the person I want to talk to you about!" ”
Murong Xun asked, "What is his identity?" ”
Zhao Ling pulled Murong Xun to sit down, looked at her and said, "Do you remember Xiao Qianzi?" ”
Murong Xun nodded and said, "Remember, thanks to his care when I was in the Phantom Wall Courtyard, after I knew that he was your person, I was a little more relieved about him!" ”
Zhao Ling lifted a strand of broken hair from Murong Xun's ear and said with a smile: "Xiao Qianzi is that person's apprentice!" Zhao Ling sighed, his eyes suddenly turned cold, as if he had fallen into a memory, and only came back to his senses after half a ring, his face was slightly pale, and said: "When my father just died, my mother held my father's edict in her hand, and was placed under house arrest by the queen mother by the imperial brother, and I almost died several times, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid I would be just a pile of white bones now!" He is the confidant eunuch of the mother's concubine, but he has peerless martial arts, since the mother's concubine was placed under house arrest, he has been lurking in the Zijin Palace to take care of the concubine, and will also help me pass on the situation in the palace! ”
After a pause, Zhao Ling said again: "It would be nice if he was here!" ”
Murong Xun patted Zhao Ling's hand and said, "If there is really no way to cure the poison, it is to persuade the people who have not been poisoned to leave first!" Anyway, it's better to do something! ”
The sky gradually brightened, and Zhao Ling couldn't sleep all night, so he got up early. As soon as Zhao Ling left, Murong Xun opened his eyes and sighed faintly, in her previous life, she was the daughter of a general, and she was a queen for three years, and now she can't change her character of worrying about the country and the people, but she wants to have clear grievances, although she is in troubled times, but she can't bear to watch these innocent people being implicated in the war for no reason!
Whether it's for her conscience or for the man she loves, she has to go!
She got up and dressed, changed into men's clothes, and knew that she was not dressed neatly, Zhao Ling turned back again, and when she saw Murong Xun's dress, she sighed: "I just know that you will definitely not listen to me!" ”
Murong Xun observed Zhao Ling's face, and said differently: "I see that you are very happy, is something happening?" ”
Zhao Ling shook his head and sighed, then looked at Murong Xun and said, "Cao Cao Cao is here, I only mentioned Uncle Gu to you last night, and I received his letter today!" ”
Murong Xun reacted for a moment, and said that this Uncle Gu was the man in black, and said with a smile: "Is he clever, how do you know that something is going on here?" ”
Zhao Ling said with a smile: "He naturally won't count, but after coming out of the palace, he went to Baozhi Hall and found that you and I were gone, because he was worried about my injury, he came to look for me, this time he just came out of Sifang City to Jiayuguan!" ”
Murong Xun stroked his palms and said: "This is very good, if you say this, let Uncle Gu go with me, and it is better to detoxify with those people!" Zhao Ling pinched Murong Xun's nose and said, "If Uncle Gu goes with you, I have nothing to worry about!" I immediately took a letter of divorce with Uncle Gu and asked him to accompany you! ”
