Chapter 714: Wing Huang Situation
Chapter 714: Wing Huang Situation
Meeting Lin Xuanzhong's somewhat strange gaze, Xue Yin didn't know what Lin Xuanzhong was thinking, nodded slightly, and then directly got up and walked out of the house with the two girls following Lin Xuanzhong.
"See the general," at the gate of the courtyard, twelve night soldiers stood neatly in two columns. When Lin Xuanzhong came out, those people invariably gave Lin Xuanzhong a military salute.
After those people raised their heads, Lin Xuanzhong took a look at their strength, and they were all good, basically they were all fourth-order and fifth-rank martial cultivators.
"Take me to the princess's original residence," nodding to those people, Lin Xuanzhong ordered them directly.
"The general forgives the sin, the subordinates don't know the princess's original residence," the first person saw that what Lin Xuanzhong ordered was not within their ability, and immediately asked Lin Xuanzhong for guilt. Then that one person took the lead, and everyone else bowed their heads to Lin Xuanzhong as if they had done something wrong.
The appearance of those soldiers bowing their heads and admitting their mistakes was surprising, Lin Xuanzhong didn't want to do this, so he said directly to everyone: "Ben General didn't mean to blame you, you all get up." ”
"Thank you, General," but although Lin Xuanzhong's words were said lightly, those people didn't dare to treat them casually, and hurriedly thanked Lin Xuanzhong one by one.
"Xue Yin, you guys follow me," Since he couldn't expect the soldiers below to lead the way, Lin Xuanzhong had to try to lead the way himself, because Lin Xuanzhong knew where Princess Lan Xin lived in the past.
The camp was brightly lit, and even though it was night, it was not difficult for Lin Xuanzhong to find the right direction. Walking in front of the team, Lin Xuanzhong looked in the direction of Chengguan from afar, and the city wall was indeed filled with firelight. In order not to disturb the rest of the soldiers, all the work at night was to melt iron to build a wall, and there was no sound of steel being tempered unless necessary.
There were only six days left before the arrival of the allied ordnance unit, which was not much longer than the expected completion of the fortifications. As before, I still have to count the days, but the next few days will be more difficult, but fortunately, Lin Xuanzhong has figured out a problem in the past few days.
Compared with the ordinary soldiers below who are ignorant of the future, life and death are fateful, and they stand in the bitter cold every day, what is the little hardship they endure. At least they can control their own fate, and those soldiers can only be at the mercy of fate.
The dark night sky made Lin Xuanzhong think of many things, and at the same time, Xue Yin quietly looked at Lin Xuanzhong's back, his straight body standing as majestic as a mountain, giving people a feeling that could not be shaken for no reason. Standing behind Lin Xuanzhong, Xue Yin had a natural sense of security.
Silently following behind Lin Xuanzhong, Xue Yin didn't want to say a word. Those patrolling soldiers would come over to inquire whenever they noticed the ordinary dressed Xue Yin and the two girls, but when they noticed Lin Xuanzhong, no one went to check the identities of Xue Yin and the two girls, but hurried to Lin Xuanzhong one by one to give a military salute, Lin Xuanzhong's white hair on the shawl was the best identification.
"Xue Yin, it's here," After a while, Lin Xuanzhong brought a group of people to a courtyard, and there was a guard with a torch at the gate of the courtyard.
After being reminded by the guard, Lin Xuanzhong was even more sure that he was not in the wrong place, so he directly led Xue Yin and the two girls inside, and then asked those who came with him to guard at the door.
Because it was winter, there was no smell of flowers and plants in the courtyard, and walking in it was no different from walking in the usual courtyard, but it could still be seen that the small courtyard where Princess Lan Xin originally stayed was obviously larger than Lin Xuanzhong's residence.
When a few people were about to enter the living room, a group of people who were cleaning up in the living room came out. The person in charge showed Lin Xuanzhong that it had been cleaned up and could move in at any time, and asked Lin Xuanzhong to go in and check it out.
After taking a look inside the house, Lin Xuanzhong was very satisfied with the work of those people, and then directly asked those people to leave.
"Xue Yin, you let Liangchen and Meijing simply help you clean up, rest early, I'll go and ask the people below to get you some hot water now," After those people left, Lin Xuanzhong was embarrassed to stay longer.
"Thank you, my lord, for sending me off in person," After following Lin Xuanzhong for so long, Xue Yin's deepest feeling was not how high Lin Xuanzhong's status was, but that Lin Xuanzhong in the barracks was no different from Lin Xuanzhong in Shiqiao Village, and he treated himself like a guest from beginning to end. For Xue Yin, this is a feeling that has not been seen for a long time, as if Lin Xuanzhong is no longer just a friend with him, but more like one of his relatives.
Xue Yin didn't expect this to happen in advance, and while she was a little surprised, although she wanted to experience this feeling for a while, Xue Yin really couldn't open her mouth to let Lin Xuanzhong stay.
After saying goodbye to Xue Yin and the three of them, Lin Xuanzhong turned around and walked to the gate of the courtyard to explain to the dozen or so night soldiers, so that they could not only guard the door but also listen to Xue Yin's orders at any time, otherwise they would all be dealt with by military law.
Although those guards didn't know what Xue Yin's identity was, let alone why Lin Xuanzhong brought several women to the camp, and treated the three women so solemnly, Lin Xuanzhong's orders had been written down one by one. Next, they had to obey Xue Yin's instructions as if they were obeying Lin Xuanzhong's instructions.
After confirming that those guards had written down their words, Lin Xuanzhong left here directly, and on the way, he couldn't help but think of Princess Lan Xin, who had left not long ago. Calculating the time, Princess Lan Xin and the sugar-coated siblings should have already returned to Zephyr City, and they don't have to worry about anything.
After coming back to his senses, Lin Xuanzhong looked at the dark night sky again, the weather was always something they needed to care about. For a few days, there was no rain, no snow, and it was gloomy, as if to warn them to pay attention to the weather.
Speaking of which, weather like this has been going on for days. According to the general's meaning above, it will rain or snow soon, and Lin Xuanzhong doesn't want to care about any changes in the weather recently, he just hopes that the night they carry out the beast plan will not be affected by the weather.
When he returned to his residence with his head down, what Lin Xuanzhong didn't expect was that Zhang Jiutian, who had said earlier that he was going back to rest, was waiting in the house. After asking Zhang Jiutian a little unexpectedly, Lin Xuanzhong realized that Zhang Jiutian said that he wanted to go back, but he actually wanted Lin Xuanzhong to pay attention to Xue Yin's matter. Although there are indeed some implicit meanings, Zhang Jiutian did it for the sake of Lin Xuanzhong and Xue Yin.
After Zhang Jiutianming said that Lin Xuanzhong should use more snacks for Xue Yin, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't blame Zhang Jiutian for being troublesome. After Lin Xuanzhong sat down, the two talked about some recent things. At the same time, in the Yidu Imperial Palace, which was hundreds of miles away from Fancheng, the Yihuang Emperor, who had not been able to sleep peacefully for several days, was pacing back and forth in his dormitory.
Since the armies of Fei and Yang entered the Wing Country, the period of destruction of the Wing Country is approaching day by day. As the lord of a country, the Wing Emperor does not eat well, sleeps well, worries about the country and the people, and discusses state affairs with his ministers every day.
After several months of ups and downs, with the loss of military strength and the abandonment of the Qingyuan powers, the royal family of the Wing Kingdom, which now only has an imperial city as the foundation of the country, has embarked on a path of self-destruction. The decline of the Wing Country seems to be predestined, unlike the change of seasons, and a warm spring can be ushered in after a cold winter. When the time comes, the Wing will dissolve into nothingness like a leaf buried under the dust.
Whether it was the two countries of Fei and Yang behind him, or the night army in front of him, many days of thinking had made the Wing Emperor clear that when the coalition army and the night army decided the victory, the Wing Kingdom would naturally have the moment to decide its fate.
Recently, there are many ministers who have made suggestions to the Wing Emperor, hoping that the Wing Emperor will once again ask for help from the monarchs of Fei and Yang, hoping that their Wing Kingdom can be saved, but for the Wing Emperor, the lords of Fei and Yang have sent people to help, but the price of letting them help is still the loss of the country.
The Wing Emperor did not accept the request of those ministers, so in the eyes of those ministers, the Wing Emperor was too stubborn and did not listen to advice, and many people reluctantly chose to abandon the royal family, or directly join the two countries, or give up their identities and flee to a safe place. Every time there was a court meeting, the Wing Huang could only watch as the number of people participating in the court meeting decreased, and he could not make a difference.
At the critical moment, those people tried their best to curry favor with Fei and Yang, and at any cost used the money they had obtained from their many years of titles to curry favor with the lords of Fei and Yang, or some important ministers of Fei and Yang, hoping that when the Yi Kingdom of Japan perished, Fei and Yang could give them a way out.
Contrary to the royal family who sold their lords for glory, there were still some royalists who actively traveled from city to city, looking for all the help that could be used for the Wing Emperor. Some ministers even sent special envoys to fly and fly to the two countries for this purpose, hoping to ensure the existence of the wing country through diplomatic means. It's just that this is a world where the weak can find ways to survive, and the strong can also do whatever it takes to improve their own strength.
In the case that the Wing Kingdom has almost lost all its troops, no matter how high the status of the envoys who went to Fei and Yang in the Wing Country, it is difficult for them to even come back alive to recover their lives, let alone bring some good news back to the Wing Emperor.
In the case that some people betrayed the royal family, and the other part tried their best to protect the royal family, because of the two fighting parties, the 50,000 winged troops who were originally guarding the Yidu are now also divided among the people, and the military power is scattered and controlled by some people. The reason why there has been no movement is only because those who are really in control of the military are still observing the situation. Counting the 50,000 troops, the number of troops that can directly accept the royal order may not even be half. No matter what kind of feelings those wing troops have when the country's survival is in danger, they can only be at the mercy of fate, and their situation is not as good as the current night army.
