Chapter 178: Dragon's Face
In the border city, Zeng Gong and Lin Xiao were toasting with the generals, and the soldiers were also tired after the previous night's battle.
"Generals, you have contributed a lot to being able to defend this attack to defeat the Huns, and I am here to give you a drink." Lin Xiao said, just picked up the bowl and drank it all.
"Where did General Lin say, it is my duty to go into battle to kill the enemy, but this time I didn't dare to invite credit for defeating the Huns, Xiao San fought bloodily among tens of thousands of generals, but I saw it really, he killed several generals of the Huns one after another with the power of harmony, and Xiao San was the first in terms of credit." Zeng Jiangjun's adjutant general waved his hand.
"Yes, Xiao San is a true hero."
"I've been fighting for more than ten years, and it's the first time I've seen such a person here, what a heroic young man."
For a while, the generals were also discussing.
At this time, Xiao San, who was talking about everyone, did not appear at the celebration banquet, he was called by Ding Xiang to discuss things, and he also let Ding Xiang heal the injuries he suffered yesterday.
"However, General Zeng, I have something that I still don't know, we are all above this city gate, how did the general learn that the leader of the Huns was killed?"
While everyone was talking, a big man with a big waist stepped forward and asked, this person was the person who wanted to bind Xiao San and Lilac before.
Hearing this, General Zeng wanted to say bluntly that he was shot by Lilac, but was interrupted by Lin Xiao: "I and General Zeng looked at the Xiongnu camp and found that the local military flag was in a mess, and General Zeng and the Xiongnu had been fighting for several years and knew a lot about the Xiongnu formation, so it was concluded that the Xiongnu leader had an incident." ”
Lin Xiao talked eloquently, Zeng Gong has always been a person who says the same, although he said that he knew why Lin Xiao suddenly said something like this, but his eyes were still a little uncomfortable.
When he heard Lin Xiao's words, he immediately arched his hand and said: "I think it is the general's credit to be able to win a big victory this time, if he hadn't grasped the opportunity, how could we win so easily." ”
When everyone heard this, they also echoed it.
"You are laughing, you have fought bloodily and bravely, and the greatest credit is that you are truly deserved."
Lin Xiao also smiled when he heard everyone's words.
In fact, Lin Xiao didn't want to hide Lilac's merits, but the barracks have always been judged by seniority, and Lilac won such a big credit as a doctor, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public, and Lilac also has her own plans.
Inside the Lilac camp, Xiao San was lying on the ground at this time, letting Lilac treat his wounds.
I saw that Xiao Sanhou's body, wounds, redness and swelling covered the entire back, and it was a little unbearable for Lilac to be in the barracks for such a long time, and he was careful in his every move, for fear that he would hurt Xiao San again.
However, Xiao San kept silent and quietly asked Lilac to rub the medicine for him.
"San'er, if you hurt it, just say it, don't force the pain." Lilac couldn't bear to see his muscles bulging and his hands clenched.
"Xiang'er, it's okay, you can continue!" Xiao San snorted lightly.
Ding Xiang also stopped saying anything when she heard this, and concentrated on rubbing medicine for him, she knew Xiao San's mind, how could a manly husband wail for such a small injury.
……
"Xiang'er, I'm really embarrassed that you gave me such a big credit." After wiping the medicine, Xiao San stroked Lilac's face and said softly.
Hearing this, Ding Xiang looked up at Xiao San: "San'er, where are you, the purpose of me coming to the northwest with you is so that you can clear up your uncle's grievances, what is the use of me if you don't take credit." ”
"For the sake of a wife, what more can a husband ask for."
After listening to Lilac's words, Xiao San's mind was also a little moved, and he directly took Lilac into his arms and didn't know what to say.
It turned out that the result of the previous discussion between Ding Xiang and Zeng Gong and several others was to let Xiao San claim the credit for shooting the leader of the Huns instead of Ding Xiang, hoping to obtain greater gifts from the emperor and increase the weight of his own words.
A few days later, the news of Zeng Gong's defeat of the Xiongnu with more enemies and fewer reached the capital, and the capital was boiling.
"Haha, General Zeng is really a god-man, a god-man." Above the court, the emperor was overjoyed after reading the recital presented by the eunuch.
"Oh? I don't know when I made Your Majesty so happy, and I also told us old ministers. ”
When the Taishi heard the emperor's words, he hurriedly arched his hand, and between his eyebrows, there was a look of doubt.
"Taishi, do you know, this time General Zeng Gong fought against the Huns and won a complete victory, the Huns were not only beaten and fled outside the Shanhaiguan, but even the leader of the Huns, the Khan, was annihilated by Zeng Gong and Lin Xiao."
The emperor's voice became more and more high-pitched between his words, and the ministers below were also talking for a while.
"General Zeng is worthy of being General Zhenyuan's confidant, he is so brave, this time General Zeng is afraid that he is better than General Zhenyuan."
"Yes, last time the emperor didn't send a single soldier to General Zeng, I have been worried about how to be good, I never thought that it would be a complete victory, it is really gratifying."
When the ministers were all laughing and laughing, the Taishi on the side was speechless, and his eyes were even a little gloomy.
"This Hun is really a waste, so many people can't even beat less than 100,000 people, and I also sent someone to inform you of the news, it's really a wine bag and a rice bag."
Seeing the minister next to Zeng Gong praising the family, Taishi's eyes became more and more cloudy, in fact, he didn't care much about the victory of the Huns, what he was most worried about was that Zeng Gong had made a great contribution this time, so his plan to eradicate General Zhenyuan was in vain.
"Taishi, why don't you congratulate the ministers like this?"
The emperor saw that the prince had been standing alone and thinking, and he also asked, although the emperor is now thirteen years old, there is still some childishness in his words.
"Back to the emperor, the old minister is too surprised, I really didn't expect General Zeng to be so brave and good at fighting." Hearing the emperor's words, the Taishi also hurriedly echoed.
The emperor also nodded when he heard this.
"Since the Aiqing people admire General Zeng's bravery and good fighting, I will summon President Zeng back to the city to meet him from now on, and I will reward the meritorious ministers."
The emperor looked at the ministers and spoke.
"Emperor Shengming, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
……
"I'm mad, I'm mad." As soon as the Taishi entered the house, he threw his hat and said angrily.
This time, General Zeng actually made such a contribution, which really disrupted his plan, and now that the saint is getting older and older, his words are no longer as obedient to the emperor as before.
"What's the matter, sir, why is there such an atmosphere?" The housekeeper on the side was also surprised to see the Taishi's abnormal state.
Taishi squinted his eyes and asked, "Butler, the old man asked you to arrange a few people to intersperse in Lin Xiao's army to take advantage of the opportunity, how reliable is it?" ”
"My lord, the person here is the henchman of General Hanzi, not only is he strong in martial arts, but he is also extremely meticulous in his thoughts, I don't know why my lord wants to say that he is from here."
The housekeeper said that the man had always had a good personal relationship with him, and this time he also felt that things were a little unusual.
"Don't mention it, I really don't know why the Huns are so cowardly, hundreds of thousands of horses are even invincible to Zeng Gong's 100,000 people."
"Butler, pass on my message and let the Hanzi and Liangzi come here, and I will discuss with them."
The Taishi squinted his eyes and commanded again.
After a few days of careful care by Lilac, Xiao San's injuries have almost recovered, and his daily walking and eating are no longer serious, but he can't lie down as usual.
At this time, Lilac and Xiao San were strolling outside the tent.
"Lilac, look at the scenery here, the sky is full of sand, the wind is roaring, and it is quite beautiful here."
Xiao San sighed, without the intrusion of the past war, Xiao San's mood at this time is also very good.
"Yes, the Huns who besieged us were defeated, and now they are looking at the scene of yellow sand, but it is also a little hideous in the past, but I am now like my father and mother, I don't know how they are doing in Xinghua Village now."
The Double Ninth Festival is approaching, and the emotions of Lilac Homesickness also unconsciously spread from the bottom of my heart, surrounding the soul of the two rooms, and Lilac can't suppress the concern in my heart at this time.
Hearing Lilac's words, Xiao San turned his head, took Lilac into his arms and said: "Lilac, it's me who is not good, you and I have suffered, in fact, I also miss my father and mother, they all blame my identity, and they have been worried and afraid." ”
"San'er, don't say that, although I miss my father and mother, I don't mean to blame you, my uncle is a hero for a while, and I don't want them to suffer injustice all the time."
Lilac snuggled in Lilac's arms and said, since Da Xiao San rescued her from Xia Chunqiu's arms, Lilac has identified Xiao San in her heart.
In her heart, she Bi Xiaosan wanted to find the truth of the matter and give him and his father, General Zhenyuan, an explanation, which was also the biggest wish of the third uncle when he was dying.
Without the previous tension and depression, many soldiers in the barracks at this time also began to patrol outside the border plug from time to time, naturally they also saw the scene of the two Ding Xiang and Xiao San, and they all leaked some surprise, after all, in their hearts, Ding Xiang is still a man.
"Lilac, you see that they treat you like a man, it seems that your kung fu in disguise as a man is also practiced to the extreme."
As more and more soldiers came out, some voices of discussion naturally reached Xiao San's ears.
"You."
Hearing this, Ding Xiang also hurriedly left with Xiao Sansan, and said with a blushing face: "Xiao San, how good is it that they have such a misunderstanding with us here." ”
Lilac has been snuggling in Xiao San's arms, and for a while she ignored that this was not in the tent.
"Xiang'er, look at your shy face, what's there to worry about, I'll accompany you to the city Ming'er, and then you can change back into your daughter."
Xiao San smiled again, if the soldiers knew that the person who healed them was a daughter, I was afraid that it would cause an uproar, but Xiao San was a little yearning.
"San'er, you dare to laugh at me." At this time, Ding Xiang also understood the meaning of Xiao San's words at this time, and said angrily.
After that, he poked Xiao San's wound with his hand and walked away quickly.
"Sss Suddenly, the corners of Xiao San's mouth twitched.
......
"See Taishi."
"See Taishi."
In the Taishi's mansion, several ministers bowed their hands, and several henchmen of the Taishi here also rushed over at the command of the Taishi.
"I don't know why the Grand Master is so anxious to summon us here?" Liangzi saw the sad look on the Taishi's face, so he asked at the beginning.
When the Taishi saw that several people were coming, he said, "You must have heard the news of Zeng Gong's victory." ”
"Taishi, I'm afraid it's already spread all over the country, I don't know how to wait."
The man said loudly, but it attracted the dissatisfaction of the Taishi: "How man, Zeng Gong won, you look very high-minded, do you want the old man to celebrate with a drink." ”
"Taishi, don't dare to be humble, it's rude." The man wiped his senses and said that something was wrong at this time, so he hurriedly apologized.
The Taishi glared, and then thought about the people on the side and said: "Zeng Gong won here, and the Holy Lord let his class master return to the court, which is bound to be unfavorable to us. ”
Liangzi stretched out his hand and stroked his beard, and said knowingly: "Taishi, since it is inevitable that the emperor will reward him for meritorious service, tomorrow the Taishi will ask the emperor to canonize General Zeng as the hussar general to guard the frontier, and he will not pose any threat to us from far away." ”
Liangzi had already thought about his plans when he came this time, and in his opinion, General Zeng was just a martial artist, and he really didn't have to worry about some minds.
"What Liangzi said is reasonable, but I'm just worried that he shouldn't accept it easily, I'm worried that he will take the opportunity to ask for General Zhenyuan to overturn the case here, he has never let go of this matter, according to the spy report, this Pingxi Village has been in and out recently."
Taishi said lightly, he has always been cautious about General Zhenyuan, and he will definitely have some doubts about whether it is the people of Liming or the civil and military forces of the imperial court, and the emperor has gradually stabilized here, I am afraid that it will not be easy to fool.
When the man heard this, he also frowned, the person who slaughtered the village here was exactly what he led people to do, it was really paper that couldn't hold the fire, and he must be the first to bear the brunt.
"Report, my lord, the spies from Biansai are back." Just as everyone was trying to deal with it, suddenly a voice reached everyone's ears.
"Oh? Hurry up. ”
After that, Taishi also glanced at Liangzi and the others.
"Tell the Taishi, here, there is a major discovery this time." The spy gasped, and here he was rushing back from the northwest without stopping.
"What's the matter, tell me quickly."
The man said loudly, he has always been an anxious person, and he was also a little upset when the spies were inking for a long time without saying a word.
"Lord Qiyu, I overheard the conversation between Zeng Gong and Lin Xiao, saying that Xiao San is Xiao Chen, the son of General Zhenyuan that we have been looking for. And this time in the battle with the Huns, Xiao San made great contributions and charged in the Hun camp with the strength of one person. ”
The spy said word by word, but everyone including the Taishi was surprised.
"Take it seriously at this point." The man said angrily as he tugged at the spy's collar.
"Hui, Lord Hui's words are true."
"My lord, it is a crime to be lowly in your office." At this time, the man and Liangzi knelt down one after another and arched their hands.
Previously, it was the two of them who sent troops to chase and kill Xiao San, and they never wanted to protect Xiao San's people to resist to the death, so they were escaped to Xinghua Village by Xiao San, so there was a saying that Lord Hai Rui sent troops to destroy Xinghua Village.
Taishi was extremely angry at this time, he could be said to have killed General Zhenyuan's family, but he never thought that Xiao San would escape.
"It's really a bunch of waste, so many people can't even catch a doll, what did you eat before, and now he thinks that if things are poked out, you just wait for the whole door to be beheaded, a group of rice buckets."
Taishi threw the handle in his hand on the two of them and shouted.
Liangzi and the man also glanced at each other when they heard this, and their eyes were full of regret, before he wanted to turn Xinghua Village upside down to find Xiao Chen like slandering General Zhenyuan, but he was shirked by Liangzi on the grounds that it violated heavenly principles.
"My lord, my subordinates are willing to make meritorious contributions."
Liangzi arched his hand and said, since the incident has happened, they have no choice but to find a way to make meritorious contributions.
"Since he can enter and exit among thousands of troops, I am afraid that his martial arts are no less than that of his father, General Zhenyuan, how can your three-legged cat's kung fu be guilty of meritorious service." Taishi scolded angrily.
However, the spy who had been kneeling down on the side and had never spoken, said: "Back to Taishi, although Xiao San was brave and good at fighting before, he also had a lot of wounds on his body, so his strength has not yet recovered. ”
"My lord, since this person is Xiao Chen, the son of General Zhenyuan, presumably when the army passes through Pingxi Village, the two of them will definitely come here, so we might as well assassinate him here, so as to save us our worries."
"My lord, what Ryoko said is right, I have a group of highly skilled killers under me, and I will go there in person this time, and I will definitely be able to kill them and give an explanation to my lord."
Ryoko also echoed the way.
Hearing the two of them say this, the Taishi's face turned a little better: "Since this is the case, you have a good plan, if you miss again, then you don't have to come to see me." ”
"No."
With that, the two of them retreated.
At this time, outside the side plug, Ding Xiang and Xiao San were talking with Zeng Gong and Lin Xiao.
"I really can't imagine that this Ding Divine Doctor is still a female baby, it's really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows go." General Zeng learned that Lilac was actually his daughter at this time, and immediately praised.
It turned out that the soldiers in the barracks had a misunderstanding about Ding Xiang and Xiao San, and Xiao San was afraid that the matter would have a bad impact on Ding Xiang if it spread again, so he found Zeng Gong and Lin Xiao and explained their true identities.
"Where, the general has won the award, but he just knows a little about medical skills." Lilac said modestly.
"But Lilac, I have really wronged you here, if you talk about the merits, it must be you, just for Xiao San's business."
Lin Xiao sighed.
"The general doesn't have to be like this, Xiao San and I are members of the family, and these fame and fortune are of no use to me, I just want to practice healing, and I hope that I can really give my uncle justice here."
