Soon, the fire was extinguished.

Su Qin Chong and Gao Gai were fine, just inhaled a little smoke and coughed a little.

"Are the two generals okay?" Murong Chong hurriedly came to be concerned, and the anxiety in his eyes was very sincere.

When Su Qinchong and Gao Gai saw Murong Chong, a trace of weakness flashed on their faces, and the two glanced at each other before saying, "I'll wait for nothing, let the prince bother." ”

"This Luoyang war is imminent, how can I put my mind at ease." Murong Chong frowned, still apprehensive about tonight's raid.

"Have you found out? Who did it? Although the casualties were not serious, Murong Chong was very angry, his face was black, like a cloud before thunder.

Yuan Xiang lowered his head and whispered back, "It's still investigating." ”

"How do you do things! Didn't you make sure it was safe to set up camp here? Murong Chong seemed to be furious, and his voice revealed the majesty of the king, which made people shudder, "Do you know that this king almost lost two generals just now!" ”

Yuan Xiang hurriedly knelt down and asked, "If your subordinates have negligence, please punish the prince." ”

I don't know why, Murong Chong was obviously scolding Yuan Xiang, but Su Qinchong and Gao Gai's hearts were also filled with chills, as if at the same time, he was also blaming them for their dereliction of duty.

Gao Gai hurriedly persuaded, "The prince is angry, we are all fine now, and there are only 100 dead and wounded soldiers." We are in the open, the enemy is in the dark, and it is no wonder that Yuan Xiang is not surprising. ”

Murong Chong glanced at Gao Gai, his face seemed to ease slightly, but he still said worriedly, "I feel sorry for the death of a soldier and a pawn, not to mention, there is still a way to go to Luoyang, if you are not cautious, who knows what will happen!" ”

"I'm afraid that before we reach Luoyang, we will be wiped out!" Murong said coldly.

Gao Gai was immediately silenced, not the embarrassment that was obvious now, but the cold and arrogant eyes of the young man revealed the courage that people had to surrender.

A voice from the bottom of his heart told him that it was the deterrence of the king.

"Yuan Xiang did not do his job effectively, and asked the prince to punish him to show military discipline." Yuan Xiang kowtowed and said sincerely.

Murong Chong glanced at Yuan Xiang coldly, without a trace of hesitation and emotion, even if he was an attendant who had followed him for many years, he would have to be punished if he made a mistake.

"Go out and get twenty scepters yourself."

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Although the punishment was a bit heavy, Yuan Xiang was still willing to be punished.

Murong Chong looked at Gao Gai and Su Qinchong again, his frowning brows still not relaxed, "It seems that our whereabouts have been exposed, and we must leave as soon as possible." ”

Gao Gai and Su Qinchong were stunned for a moment, glanced at each other, and the overflowing emptiness of heart fell into Murong Chong's eyes.

"What the prince said is that we will go back and prepare to leave." Gao Gai hurriedly replied, although his tone was impermanent, his voice was obviously a little weaker than usual.

Murong Chong's heart was like a mirror, but he didn't break it, he just waved his hand slightly, and said, "Go ahead." ”

****

As soon as Gao Gai and Su Qinchong came out of Murong Chong's tent, they immediately took a breath, as if Murong Chong's calm was surging with thousands of deep machines, he was like watching the fire, unfathomable; And they are just covering their ears and stealing the bell, and the class is just getting an axe.

"What do you think of today's fire?" Gao Gai asked Su Qinchong.

Su Qinchong didn't speak, but sighed deeply, he really realized the truth that a companion is like a tiger.

"It seems that King Anfeng, even we don't plan to let it go." Gao Gai said with a sad brow.

There is no irreplaceable general, only the world that cannot be conquered.

Between the world's power schemes, their lives are like mustard, and they can barely survive only if they are in the right position with the wind.

****

The man stood up, looking at the vast night sky, and suddenly became distracted, but his cold eyes, which were as bright as a star, were frighteningly cold at this time.

"Lord Wang, everything has been taken care of, Su Qinchong will only think that Murong Yue has made a killer, and he will never suspect us." Gao Ruqing came to report.

"Got it." Murong Chong didn't turn around and said indifferently.

Try it tonight, he already knows that Gao Ruqing and the Gao family are already on his side!

She looked at his cold back, the two of them were only a few steps apart, but she felt that he was always too far away from her, like far away from the sky, with endless estrangement.

Between her and him, is there nothing else to say except for business?

Gao Ruqing moved her lips, "Lord Wang......"

"How many casualties do we have?" Before she could finish speaking, Murong Chong had already interrupted impatiently.

As if it were unrelated, he didn't want to talk to her any more.

Gao Ruqing was stunned for a moment, and her agate-like beautiful eyes immediately lost their charm and dimmed, "Seven people died, and thirty-two people were burned." ”

"Go down." Murong Chong looked at the dark sky, not knowing how many souls had been added tonight.

He sighed, even if it was a small casualty, it was still a casualty; Even if there is less blood, it is blood.

It's just helpless, those who want to win the world must first learn to be ruthless and give up.

****

Song Ling was lying on the bed, feeling empty in her heart, in her memory, she and Murong Chong seemed to be rarely separated, so when the separation really came, it would make her so sad.

still remembers the last time she was separated from him, when she went to Chang'an, in just a few months, Yang Zhao died in battle, and she was estranged from him; Baojin died tragically, and he and her trust was difficult to trust.

I don't know what kind of changes will happen to him and her when he goes to Luoyang this time.

****

Ten days later, and the state

Murong Hong had already captured Bingzhou and sent the Yan army to garrison it, but the situation here still caught Song Ling by surprise.

There were no vendors on the long street, only old people and children in ragged clothes lying on the ground, their skinny bodies and sallow-like faces, which at first glance were caused by long-term lack of food and clothing.

In addition to most of the old people, there were some young people who had lost their arms or had wounds on their faces, leaning against the cold walls, not knowing what to wait for.

But Song Ling saw the cruelty and ruthlessness of war in them.

The wind of the state, with a hint of gloom, blew across this long street that was run over by horses' hooves and troops.

"It's not what you imagined, is it?" Duan Sui asked leisurely, he looked at all this quietly, no more than Song Ling's righteous indignation, he was very indifferent, as long as it was none of his business, he didn't care.

"I never thought that taking a city would benefit the people."

Not far away, a group of men and horses came in a majestic manner, and the dozens of attendants surrounded the man on the tall horse at the front. He held his head high, squinted his eyes over the group of old and weak women and children huddled in the street, with a look of contempt and disdain, and then he suddenly raised his hand and threw a handful of broken silver from his bosom.
