Chapter 127: Arrive in Funan and visit the military camp at night
The day dawned, and the time of the night passed unconsciously, Qingyan looked at the morning sun outside, but when it was just an hour, she also had a scorching feeling, which made her heart sink more and more, as if she had seen rotting corpses all over the ground.
"First the flood, then the heat, and I wonder what will happen next?" Zhuge Rui frowned and whispered to himself.
"Humph! I don't see that you still have compassion for others, so how can you do such an evil thing as leaving the hungry behind? Qingping has always been resentful of his previous disrespect for Qingyan, so he has to be sarcastic when he gets the opportunity.
"Qing Shaoxia is too worried, they are also hungry people, I have never taken any responsibility, I just occasionally help them with some ideas, now that I am gone, I believe they will also go to Kaifeng according to what the young master said, after all, this was agreed at the beginning."
"That is, I planned to take refuge in Kaifeng from the beginning, how did I fall into the grass again?" Qingyan was surprised when she heard this.
"The young master didn't know, he had been to Lin'an before, and he was about to enter the city, but he didn't want the local officials to directly order the closure of the city, leaving all the victims outside the city, and giving some steamed buns at noon every day, I couldn't get angry, so I went straight to Kaifeng with some of the victims who were willing to leave.
Although I heard that the governor of Kaifeng is a good official who asks for the people's life, who can guarantee the truth of the rumors? Therefore, he planned to go to his vicinity to rob some rich families of money, firstly, in case he was locked out of the city again, and if it really happened, he could also use the money to build a temporary residence; The second is that if Na Zhizhou is really a good official, then with these silver taels, he can also reduce his burden, and I want to know what kind of reaction he will have when he learns that the hungry people have fallen into the grass. ”
"The result? How did he react to your satisfaction? ”
"Naturally, we are satisfied, we have only been here for two days, and we have robbed twice in total, once a profiteer, with many samurai, I don't see it well, and I fled directly with people, but even so, two people were broken legs; After that, it's you, young master. Only before that, the government had already sent a message, saying that a temporary residence had been built outside Kaifeng City, and we were asked to go, but it was already evening when the message was delivered, so we planned to go early the next morning. ”
"Now that you have a place to go, why do you choose to follow me back to the land of right and wrong?"
"Young master, that is my hometown, who would want to leave my hometown if I could? Moreover, I am a man and I have ambitions, and meeting you is the beginning of a turning point in my fate, and I don't want to miss it, and I can't miss it. ”
"Opportunity is always in the hands of those who are prepared, and you are the one who is prepared." She smiled and said silently. After Qingping learned the truth about Zhuge Rui, his face softened slightly, although he didn't say a word from beginning to end, the atmosphere was not as tense as before.
"Young master, it's Guangling further on, but do you want to enter the city?" Xiao Wang slowed down the speed of the carriage.
"Zhuge , you go and show Xiao Wang the way, bypass Guangling, and go straight to Funan City, which road is the closest to go."
"Yes!"
After a while, there was the voice of Zhuge Rui pointing the way, she looked through the window, the magnificent Guangling City was close in front of her, and it was gradually getting farther and farther away, she couldn't help but think of Ling Feng and Ling Shan, and she didn't know if the two of them were going well, especially Ling Feng, which made her particularly worried.
Outside the Eastern Capital
Ling Feng followed Yang Zilong's march all the way, and several attempts to meet him were in vain, and he was also regarded as a suspicious person by the latter's subordinates, so that even getting close was already a problem, let alone visiting.
Seeing that the army was moving day and night, but it was still slow, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and he wanted to visit the military camp at night several times, but he gave up because he remembered Qingyan's instructions when he was leaving, but now that there was nothing he could do, he finally decided to take a risk.
At the end of the unitary period, the 300,000 troops who had marched for two days and one night finally stopped camping and resting, and the marshal's tent was in the center of the camp, surrounded by soldiers' tents, and from time to time there were small groups of soldiers patrolling by, which can be described as an impregnable wall.
At that time, the night had completely darkened, looking at the brightly lit barracks, Ling Feng dodged the heavy patrol in a few jumps, went straight to the central camp tent, and got into it in an instant.
"You're finally here!"
Before he could sigh at the success of his actions, he was startled by a powerful voice behind him.
Woohoo –
Followed by the deadly sound of the arrow cutting through the space, his heart sank, a backflip jumped out of the camp, but he was greeted by a spear in the sky, pointed directly at his throat, helplessly, had to draw his sword to face the battle, between the sword light and sword shadow, countless spears stopped the waist and broken, was trying to use this respite to say what he meant, but he didn't want thousands of soldiers to rush to kill, at this time not to fight is to die, he has no choice.
It's just that he is extremely aggrieved in this battle, after all, he is a friend and not an enemy, and the other party can kill him if he doesn't know the situation, but he can't, so the other party makes a fatal move, but he is merciful everywhere, and even uses the scabbard to control the enemy, so that it didn't take long for him to fall into the disadvantage.
"Who's coming? Get your name in! Yang Zilong was dressed in a military uniform and had a long knife hanging from his waist, majestic and murderous.
"I" Ling Feng listened to it in his ears, and just wanted to reply, but saw another spear stabbed over, and in desperation, he had to fly up and jump up, and soared into the sky with the momentum of the gun, but the soldiers below raised the spear in his hand at the same time and stabbed it hard towards his figure.
Yang Zilong squinted his eyes slightly, looking at his moves and styles, confirming that he had never seen it, and there was no such person in his memory, but at this moment, he could be sure that this person must not be an enemy, otherwise he would be in danger several times, how could he still be merciful?
"Zhenyu Junjun sent me here!" Ling Feng stepped lightly on the body of the spear, jumped several times in a row, and finally broke out of the encirclement, and quickly rushed to Yang Zilong's face, knelt on one knee, and shouted loudly.
With this single move, everyone stopped what they were doing, after all, they had never seen an assassin kowtow to an enemy.
"You said Zhenyu Junjun?" Yang Zilong was quite surprised.
"Exactly!"
"What did she mean by sending you?"
"My county gentleman set off from Qingzhou three days ago, walked to Kaifeng, and went to Guangling, but he didn't want to get the news, Zhennan Pass has been broken, Jianwei"
"Slow, you come with me!" Yang Zilong's eyes shrank, stopped him, and led him into his tent, and it was only at this time that Ling Feng discovered that his residence was not the most central, but an extremely ordinary tent behind the central tent.
All the soldiers in the army were taken aback when they heard his sentence "Zhennan Pass has been broken", and whispered that they had not received the news, and several pioneers and major generals were also secretly surprised, and then dispersed a group of soldiers and gathered together to discuss the reliability of the news obtained by Zhenyu Junjun.
"You said you were sent by Zhenyu, do you have a certificate?" In the tent, Yang Zilong held the long knife at his waist and stared at him with blazing eyes.
"This is what my county gentleman asked me to bring, saying that you can see it at a glance!" As he spoke, he handed over a jade hairpin inlaid with gold and jade.
Yang Zilong took it, took a closer look, and found that it was the unique jade lily jade hairpin of the Liupin Junjun, which was also printed with the seal of the Internal Affairs Office, and the year and month of production.
"You just said that Zhennan Pass has been broken?" He returned the hairpin and went straight to the point.
"Exactly!"
"Is the information reliable? Why hasn't Ben Shuai and the court gotten the news yet? ”
"What? You don't know? How is that possible? Zhennan about the early morning break two days ago, Lord Nangong Shi led the troops to retreat to Funan City, many Funan people fled, and it was rumored that General Jianwei died in wartime, how could there be no news about such a major event? Ling Feng looked at him in surprise, he couldn't believe this fact.
"What do you say? General Jianwei is dead? Yang Zilong was shocked, thinking that before leaving, Li Sheng went to the mansion to announce the decree, and secretly told the prince of Wuzhu that Chang Tianyou, the prince of Wuzhu, had hidden his identity in Yulin Pass, and won this honor with his own ability, and after learning that Annan was about to move, he went by himself, and the act of guarding the border and the people made him extremely appreciative, and he also thought that after the battle of Zhennan Pass, he would not bury his merits, and ask the emperor for him, but now he heard the news of his death.
"Well, according to the people of Funan City, the situation was urgent, and the general thought of a strategy to turn defeat into victory, but Lord Nangong did not adopt it, which led to the defeat of Zhennanguan, as for the death of the general, no one saw his body, but he disappeared after the war, so there is this rumor."
Yang Zilong was silent, at present, what Ling Feng said would not be false, but who concealed such an important military situation? That Nangong Shi had always heard that he was a nobody, but he never thought that it would come to such a point.
"Someone!" Thinking that this military situation was two days ago, he couldn't wait any longer, who would dare to guarantee that Nangong Shi would not do anything stupid again?
"In!"
"Tell me to go down, immediately pull out the camp and set off, and rush to Funan with all my strength from now on!"
"Yes!"
"Marshal Yang, my county gentleman-"
"She sent you to deliver the message, Ben Shuai is extremely grateful, but this is military after all, she is only ten years old, how can she understand? Go back and thank her for Ben Shuai! ”
"Wait!" When he heard this, he was immediately furious, and grabbed Yang Zilong's arm, not hiding his anger in his eyes.
"What else?" He saw the other party's anger, but he didn't take it to heart, why should a ten-year-old girl's subordinate be so serious?
"The marshal should not underestimate the county king, although he is only ten years old, he knows the plan but is never under you."
"Oh? While Ben Shuai still has some time, can you tell me, what is her ability? He smiled, and before he saw how hard he tried, he broke away from Ling Feng's control.
"The marshal knows that when the snow disaster did not happen, my county monarch had already felt it, and began to build a porridge shed early, including my marquis reminding the court that the snow disaster and the people's riots were also the meaning of the county monarch, as well as this flood, the county monarch had already taken precautions, so that the heavenly doctor Yun had prepared enough medicinal materials in advance, and after discovering the changes in Annanguo, he directly wrote to General Jianwei, if it wasn't for the fact that there was no one in Nangong's eyes, Annanguo would have been defeated at this time."
Yang Zilong heard this, even after experiencing several lives and deaths, seeing all kinds of people, all kinds of worlds, he still felt unbelievable, in his opinion, this is not a strategy, it is clearly the ability to predict the future.
