Chapter 858: Open Origin

Shi Jiangchuan and other high-level martial arts cultivators have profound skills, and there is no big problem if they don't sleep for a few days, so the current situation is not delayed because someone needs to rest. When Shi Jiangchuan and the generals were discussing how to find out the reason why Emperor Yang was kidnapped, Chang Siyuan and Hong Yu had been listening to them. Now Chang Siyuan's role in helping them rescue Emperor Yang is not as great as Hong Yu's, but fortunately, Shi Jiangchuan and the others don't expect Chang Siyuan to help them do anything. Either way, there were only two days to act, and the situation was urgent.

When Shi Jiangchuan and others discussed the rescue of Emperor Yang overnight, outside the barracks, Lin Xuanzhong was alone blowing a cold wind on the mountain, the slightest coolness dispelled some hunger, and under the sober moonlight, the silence in front of him made Lin Xuanzhong enjoy it very much.

"General, it's windy outside, why don't you go back to rest early?" I don't know how long I sat on the mountain, when a familiar voice came from behind him, Lin Xuanzhong's already confused consciousness slowly regained consciousness.

"Han Xuan, why are you here?" The person who turned around and looked at it was Han Xuan, and Lin Xuanzhong's eyes showed a little surprise.

"I came here to see the general," Han Xuan smiled lightly and sat down next to Lin Xuanzhong, then looked up at the moon, "What was the general thinking just now?"

"I'm wondering if we can get out of Yangguo alive," Han Xuan asked very directly, but the tone of his voice did not disgust Lin Xuanzhong, and without thinking too much, Lin Xuanzhong said some things on his mind.

"Does the general not have any hope for General Chang?"

"Yes. ”

"Does the general think he did something wrong?"

"Does it make sense to discuss this now?"

"Since it doesn't make sense, why does the general still think about this issue without sleep?" From the other generals earlier, Han Xuan had already heard that Lin Xuanzhong didn't sleep all night last night, and today is another busy day, and he hasn't rested at night. Although Wu Xiu's physique was different from ordinary people, Han Xuan still wanted to persuade Lin Xuanzhong to pay attention to his body.

"If you don't think about these things, what can Ben Jiang do?" didn't understand what Han Xuan wanted to express, Lin Xuanzhong just showed a trace of melancholy according to his mood.

"General, what do you think Ni Youbin and the others are doing now?" Unable to answer Lin Xuanzhong's question, Han Xuan simply changed the topic.

"Maybe somewhere in the Wing Country, I'm in charge of quelling the chaos!"

"Does the general want to see them?"

"A little. ”

"In that case, why can't the general be firm in the idea that we can overcome the difficulties?" After seeing Lin Xuanzhong so melancholy, Han Xuan wanted to comfort Lin Xuanzhong's mood first.

In the next time, Han Xuan's profound question made Lin Xuanzhong's face pale, and after thinking for a long time, Lin Xuanzhong realized that Han Xuan was comforting himself, but this way of comforting people was too special, after thanking Han Xuan in his heart, he took a deep breath, and a bitter smile flashed at the corner of Lin Xuanzhong's mouth.

"Do you think my decision is right?" After his mind was slowly opened, Lin Xuanzhong suddenly wanted to talk to Han Xuan more.

No matter what the general's decision was, Han Xuan felt that it was right. ”

"Is your answer too exalted to me?"

"The general doesn't need to think about it, Han Xuan's answer comes from the heart, and Han Xuan believes that everyone in the army has the same opinion about the general's approach, "Shaking his head, in fact, no matter what other people think of Lin Xuanzhong's decision, out of his own trust in Lin Xuanzhong, Han Xuan can accept any decision made by Lin Xuanzhong."

"Han Xuan, do you regret participating in this expedition?" I didn't think that Han Xuan's explanation could make me happy, but after thinking about it, this time to send troops to Yangguo was Han Xuan's first time with the army, but unfortunately he fell into the current predicament, thinking that they were very likely to not be able to get out safely, Lin Xuanzhong didn't know how to describe Han Xuan's luck, so when he asked Han Xuan this question, there was an incomprehensible smile on the corner of Lin Xuanzhong's mouth.

"What's the use of saying regret now, besides, as long as you can face it with the general, Han Xuan is not afraid. ”

"You're getting better at talking!"

"Could it be that the general is more afraid of death than I am?"

"If I were not afraid of death, I would have taken you to the siege of the city today, and you think that I would still be idle and blow the wind on the mountain. ”

"It turns out that the general is an ordinary person," Han Xuan smiled and didn't mention this matter anymore, and said calmly in a blink of an eye: "I heard Lord Xue Yin say that the general agreed to a condition for those people in order to make a deal with those people, isn't the general afraid of those people making any excessive demands?"

"If they ask me to die, I'm afraid, but if I ask for something else, that's fine. ”

"The general deliberately emphasized that he was afraid of death, if he was heard by the people below, I am afraid it would have some bad effects!"

"Only you know about it, God knows it, as long as you don't go around publicizing it, then there will be no problem," for the first time, he opened his mind in front of people other than Qingyi, and the feeling of being able to speak at will made Lin Xuanzhong extremely excited, although there was no smile on his face, but Lin Xuanzhong's eyes were full of light.

"Then I'll keep this secret for the general first," Han Xuan smiled, and then asked, "If the news of Emperor Yang's abduction is true, how sure does the general think those people can help Emperor Yang get out in time?"

"I only know that they will help Emperor Yang at all costs, but there is no way to guess how long it will take!" Shaking his head, Lin Xuanzhong had not forgotten that the transaction with Shi Jiangchuan and the others was the essence of a gamble, and there were too many factors that affected the outcome, and the result was unpredictable.

"How can the general conclude that those people will definitely try their best to help Emperor Yang escape?"

"What would you do if you were a person who had committed a felony and found that there was an opportunity to clear your name, but you were given limited time?"

"I will do whatever it takes to prove my innocence. ”

"That's what those people are facing, and this could really be their last chance, and they can't turn down the deal even if they don't have the last conditions. ”

"Why did the general agree to a condition when he could conclude that they would agree to the deal?"

"That's just a safeguard that allows them to be more dedicated to completing the deal," Figuring out people's hearts is actually not Lin Xuanzhong's strength, but Lin Xuanzhong still has a little ability to distinguish the situation, and sometimes judging the behavior of some people does not need to understand their character, just know what the situation will make those people do.

In fact, for his own safeguard measures, many times Lin Xuanzhong felt that it was redundant, and he was even afraid that the other party would use it to blackmail him into doing something against his will afterwards, but now Lin Xuanzhong could only explain it to Han Xuan like this.

"The general's eloquence is probably admirable, I am afraid that Han Xuan will not be able to reach the current height of the general in his lifetime, let alone do what the general can do. ”

"You advised me to strengthen my faith just now, why should I doubt myself now?"

"It's not suspicion, it's an intuition," Han Xuan was embarrassed to be asked, but in front of Lin Xuanzhong, he really couldn't say anything big.

"In the future, let's leave it for later," nodded, Lin Xuanzhong didn't want to continue the current topic.

"If it's okay, the general should go back and rest early," After nodding slightly, Han Xuan got up directly and prepared to go down.

"En," he agreed, Lin Xuanzhong stood up, and then the two walked down the mountain together.

After a conversation with Han Xuan, after returning to the camp, Lin Xuanzhong no longer forced himself and lay on the bed to rest directly.

There was nothing to do all night, and early the next morning, after sending people out to urge the two cities to reply to them as soon as possible about the exchange of hostages, Lin Xuanzhong patrolled around the barracks early in the morning as usual. Look at the expressions of the soldiers along the way. With food halved for two days in a row, many of the soldiers looked haggard, but it wasn't a big problem, because there was no suspicion in their eyes.

In fact, those soldiers knew that Lin Xuanzhong was just as hungry as they were, so they would not be dissatisfied with the food distributed by their superiors more than them, and what really worried Lin Xuanzhong was some officers.

Originally, the rations given to those officers according to their positions were different, and they were all more rations than ordinary soldiers, but because Lin Xuanzhong led by example, those officers had to starve and follow Lin Xuanzhong's example. Although most people are not dissatisfied with this, there are still some people who are not very comfortable because of it, and fortunately, there are few people who have problems at present, and the impact is not great.

After inspecting the barracks to confirm that there were no major problems, at the request of some soldiers, Lin Xuanzhong openly talked about his glorious deeds over the years like a big man.

According to the thoughts of many soldiers, a genius like Lin Xuanzhong should have attracted attention from childhood to adulthood, shining and being different wherever he was. On the other hand, there are still many people who don't understand why Lin Xuanzhong wants to join the army, why he doesn't want to be prosperous and rich, but wants to live this kind of life of eating and sleeping in the open, in the eyes of these people, people like Lin Xuanzhong can be reused anywhere, and there is no need to be born and die on the battlefield.

As a result, in terms of Lin Xuanzhong's origin, many people speculated that Lin Xuanzhong might be the son of a certain family in the Night Kingdom, who was deeply favored by the emperor, and also shouldered the mission of shining the lintel. However, to their surprise, Lin Xuanzhong was not only not born in a certain family in the Night Kingdom, but also could not compare to many people in the army in terms of background.

A person born in a borderless city is destined to be different from those who enjoy the protection of the law, and the difference is big enough to make Lin Xuanzhong look down on many people, but Lin Xuanzhong is from such a background.

When Lin Xuanzhong revealed that he was not a citizen of the Night Country, and that he was from an unknown and ownerless city, many people had a feeling of surprise, and what surprised them even more was that Lin Xuanzhong was actually forced to join the army, and was almost sold to hard labor before joining the army.
