Chapter 318: Visiting the Old Man at Night
"Brother Kashiwayama. (79 novels are updated the fastest and most stable)" After gently pushing open the 'door', a graceful figure was revealed, and Helian Ming called softly, waking up Bai Shan, who was resting in front of the bookcase.
"Kira? Come in, it's still snowing outside, right? Bai Shan hurriedly got up and invited Helian Mingyan in, and casually moved the brazier to Helian Mingyan's side, with a little worry on his face, "Is Salang better?" I heard from the doctor that he had a deep wound and had been in a coma since he came back. ”
Helian Ming sighed and barely smiled: "My cousin has woken up, although the arrow wound was deep, it didn't hurt the vital point, and it was considered to have picked up a life, but my cousin couldn't go into battle again in about three or two months, so I specially asked me to apologize to Brother Baishan." ”
A sudden surprise attack, a group of 'mixed' into the 'engagement' of the army suddenly attacked, unpredictable changes made Salang almost killed, and it was precisely because the deputy commander made Salang suddenly fall that the three armies were 'chaotic', that battle, the Hosdu Empire lost very embarrassed.
There was no blame on Bai Shan's face, and there was no way to hide his exhaustion: "If you want to apologize, it should be me who apologizes to Salang, and I am only at fault for involving your brothers and sisters. To be honest, even if Salang's injury is fine, I don't dare to let you and him rashly appear on the battlefield again, those so-called people in the rivers and lakes in the Yuan Kingdom are really terrible, and they can't prevent it with all their might. ”
"It's the morality they believe in, and it's no different from us." Lowering his head, Helian Ming 'gritted' the letters on the bookcase, and frowned slightly, "Isn't it going well in the north?" Unexpectedly, in just one month, the situation has taken a sharp turn, and now we are at a disadvantage. On the way here just now, I met the quartermaster, and he also asked me to help convey to Brother Baishan, we have not prepared enough supplies for the winter, and if the supplies of Nanqingguo cannot be sent again, it will be difficult for us to delay for too long. ”
Grain and grass are the lifeblood of the three armies, and all the information about grain and grass has attracted Bai Shan's attention, and the news brought by Helian Ming is obviously not very pleasant, so that Bai Shan's ** face is becoming more and more tense, and anger is faintly flowing under his young and healthy face.
"We can't expect those 'treacherous' guys in Nanqingguo to provide us with enough supplies before, but what was the name of the grain and grass they sent last time? A load of rice is mixed with half a load of sand, and this kind of thing still dares to pressure us to 'force' us to pay silver...... Zhongzhou people are really stubborn, and there is no integrity at all! ”
Helian Ming smiled bitterly: "Prince Nanqing is angry and only wants revenge, but he is completely incapable of managing a huge country, and those officials who are responsible for the transportation of grain and grass only care about filling their 'private' pockets, and will not obey the prince's orders at all." But now that I think about it, it's not bad to have rice mixed with sand, since Moqing and a group of people from the rivers and lakes sneak attacked and burned most of our grain and grass baggage a month ago, the three meals a day for the officers and soldiers in the army were forced to be reduced to two, and they were all dry food that was almost moldy, and rice and noodles had not been seen for a long time. (79 novels are updated the fastest and most stable) and continue like this......"
In the remaining half of the sentence, Helian Ming did not say it directly, but Bai Shan's heart was like a mirror.
Without food and grass, no matter how powerful an army is, it will suffer defeat.
Secretly angry for a while, Bai Shan was a little melancholy: "I thought that those chivalrous swordsmen and the like in Zhongzhou were just some lawless thugs, but I didn't expect us to suffer at the hands of these thugs." To tell you the truth, Kira, I was a little afraid when I saw them killing wantonly from afar that day - they all seemed to be flying away, killing people without even blinking an eye, often with one enemy ten or even more, this kind of person, can still be called a human being? Fortunately, not everyone in the Great Abyss army we have to deal with is like this, otherwise we would have lost this battle a long time ago. ”
Helian Ming seemed to be a little distracted, and did not listen carefully to Bai Shan's words, until Bai Shan called her twice in a row before waking up like a dream.
"What's the matter, Kira, are you too tired and uncomfortable?"
Shaking his head slightly, Helian Ming stopped talking about his 'desire', and hesitated for a long time before carefully trying to speak: "Brother Baishan, what if...... I mean, wouldn't it be better if we gave up on attacking Yuanguo? After fighting for so long, our soldiers suffered very serious losses, and if the winter supplies and grain and grass could not keep up, I don't know how many more people would die because of it. ”
Bai Shan was quite surprised by Helian Mingyan's suggestion, and frowned, but he was not angry about it.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Shan waved his hand weakly: "How can you say that you will withdraw and be defeated without a fight?" Returning home like this, those old men will inevitably not stop nagging. ”
"What the elders say is their business, and why should they care? Didn't Brother Baishan persuade me to ignore them at that time? Helian Ming still didn't give up, his expression was sincere, "We are fighting in a different place, and our dependence on grain and grass is quite large. Brother Baishan might as well go back and think about our original intention, didn't we say that as long as we recapture the land that was usurped, let the displaced people in the Yuan Country return home? But now, we're getting farther and farther away. ”
Helian Mingyan's words could not be refuted, which made De Baishan silent for a while, and it was naturally difficult for the conversation to continue.
After a long time, Bai Shan sighed tiredly: "I will think about these issues and give me some time." ”
Suddenly, he remembered something, and Bai Shan 'revealed' nervousness again: "By the way, Qiluo, you have to pay more attention recently, I am afraid that those 'forced' Yuanguo people will not succeed in sneaking up on grain and grass, and they will turn the spearhead and target you." Salang is injured and can't 'mess' around, and I don't feel at ease entrusting you to someone else, so you can only be vigilant yourself. ”
"I will take care of myself, and so will Brother Baishan, you are the sovereign, and for the people of Hosdu, Brother Baishan's safety is more important than anything."
When leaving Baishan's residence, Helian Mingyan noticed the slightly disappointed eyes of the guards at the 'gate', smiled bitterly, slowly shook his head and left with steady steps.
She was well aware of the gossip about herself and Kashiwayama, or rather some ridiculous and strange wish, and she was asked more than once if she would become the queen of Kashiwayama.
At first, Helian Mingyan would simply deny it, and sometimes talk to people close to her that she had another man in her heart who could never continue her relationship; However, in the future, Helian Mingyan would never do this again, not because her feelings for Wen Moqing were fading, but because she realized that maybe this choice was more beneficial to Hosto.
Kashiwayama trusts her, and she is also the only 'female' son who has the ability to assist Kashiwayama in the Hosturu Dynasty now, isn't it natural that they are together?
Although, that has nothing to do with happiness.
The winter moon is colder than other seasons, and at the edge of the camp, Helian Ming stopped and looked up at the crescent moon of Emei, and the slightly cool light seemed to fall from her eyes all the way to the bottom of her heart.
"Brother Baishan reminded me just now, I didn't expect you to come so soon." Bowing his head and sighing, when he turned around, Helian Ming's eyebrows were light, her fairy posture was graceful, and the smile on her lips gently bloomed at the moment when Wen Moqing's figure broke into her sight.
"You should have guessed I was coming."
"Yes, you can ignore the affairs of the Qinglian King, but you will never sit idly by and ignore the illness of Liwu, and you will only come to see me for the sake of Liwu." With a light smile, Helian Ming brushed the hair around his ears, and looked sideways at the vast snowfield outside the camp, "Come with me, it's inconvenient to talk here, it will make me feel very bored." ”
Wen Moqing was noncommittal, and although he did not give a clear answer, he still followed closely after Helian Ming turned around.
"I persuaded her to go back to Hosdu with me to find Wu Zhu to remove the Gu poison, but she refused, and she had to stay in Dayuan no matter what. I know she's for you, and you're coming to me for her, risking your own way into the enemy camp. ”
Helian Mingyan's tone was calm, and in comparison, Wen Moqing was more cold: "There are many things I can do for her, far more than you can imagine." Today, I just want to ask you the truth, is the Gu on Liwu's body a solution as long as you return to Hosdu? ”
"Where is it so easy?" Between the snow 'color' and the moonlight, the fairy who seemed to be a temporary fairy smiled slightly bitterly, "At that time, I was still young, and I didn't remember many things very clearly, but I only knew that the elders of the clan specially invited the elder witch from the Wu clan to give the sorrow and fall Gu, and soon after the Wu clan was dispersed by the first king, and the people in the clan were scattered, and the traces were difficult to find. Now that ten years have passed, it is unknown whether Wu Zhu, who fell into the Gu at that time, is still alive and where to find him. ”
If the Gu poison on Yan Liwu's body was easy to unravel, there was no need for Helian Ming to be so anxious. Before coming here, Wen Moqing didn't have much hope for the answer to this question, and after hearing it, she didn't feel disappointed or depressed, she was silent for a while, and then turned around and left without saying a word.
"Moqing!" Reaching out and grabbing Wen Moqing's sleeve, Helian Mingyan finally had a slightly flat expression, "Moqing, Liwu must listen to you very much, even if I beg you, can you persuade her to go back with me?" I don't want to watch her die, and now I only have her as my closest relative! ”
With a slight movement of her fingers, Wen Moqing frowned: "Is it useful for her to go back with you?" Since you're not sure you'll be able to save her if you go back, it doesn't make a difference whether you take her back or I take her to Howth. If you really want to help Liwu, it is better to advise your lord to collect his troops and withdraw to the Hosdu Empire as soon as possible, so that I can take Liwu to find some inexplicable witch wishes earlier. ”
Helian Mingyan was slightly surprised: "You take her there?" ”
"It's not the 'Yin' Cao Difu, why can't I go?" Wen Moqing smiled coldly, "Even if it is the 'Yin' Cao Difu, as long as I can save her, I will break through with a sword, it makes no difference." ”
How deep Wen Moqing's friendship with Yan Liwu was, Helian Mingyan had no intention of doubting it at all, on the contrary, such a firm answer made her see a glimmer of hope from the 'confusion', and even the luster in her eyes that was about to be extinguished was rekindled.
"I forgot that besides me, there are people who are willing to run 'waves' for the sake of sorrow." Taking a deep breath, Helian Mingyan looked at Wen Moqing seriously, "The Wu Clan has been dispersed for many years, and it is very difficult to find it, so I will send people around to collect information as much as possible and provide useful clues to you." I hope God blesses me to find a way to solve the Gu poison before it can be saved, as for the withdrawal of troops...... It's not something I can do. ”
Wen Moqing did not let the 'jiao' talk continue, in his opinion, there was no need for this at all.
Now that the life and death of Yan Liwu are closely related to the victory or defeat of this war, then he has one more reason, he has to expel the Hosdu Empire from Zhongzhou.
"Tea."
Unexpectedly, Wen Moqing opened her mouth to call Helian Mingyan's name, and in a tone that she was used to, but it was too stiff and cold. Helian Ming was stunned suddenly, looking up at the resolute back in disbelief, waiting for the sentence, she didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
"I will not give up any chance to save her worries, but if I still fail to defend her in the end, I will do whatever it takes to make the Horstus Empire pay the price." K
